AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly This new approach adapts to decide which robots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput.
The word “robot” was coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in a 1920 play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, and is derived from the Czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”.
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots.
A new system increases throughput in automated warehouses by adaptively determining which robots should go first to avoid congestion and collisions. The work was led by researchers from MIT and Symbotic.
A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds.
