Multi-robot routing and scheduling with temporal logic and synchronization constraints

摘要

We consider the problem of scheduling and planning the motion of a fleet of robots involved in semiconductor manufacturing. The robots are tasked with transporta-tion demands of goods that must be fulfilled according to given time constraints and synchronization rules. The de-mands and synchronization rules are specified using Time Window Temporal Logic (TWTL). Inspiring by model checking techniques, we develop a solution able to guar-antee to satisfy both demands and synchronization rules. The proposed approach is tested through simulation on a semiconductor production site of the European project "Power Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing 4.0 - (SemI40)".
