The paper presents the results of a research project that aimed at designing a fleet of autonomous omnidirectional mobile robots equipped with a conveyor segment for logistic applications in which humans and robots collaborate in the same area and that would require a minimum of additional fixed infrastructure for navigation. It presents the challenges addressed and the layered architecture for ensuring safe operation of each robot and a coordination system using a collection decentralized nodes based on Robot Operating System for obtaining a flexible, smart and scalable logistic system capable of handling and tracking delivery orders based on bar-code labeled packages routed between source fixed conveyor systems (outputs of the warehouse) and destination conveyor systems (the temporary storage for loading into trucks).

摘要

The paper presents the results of a research project that aimed at designing a fleet of autonomous omnidirectional mobile robots equipped with a conveyor segment for logistic applications in which humans and robots collaborate in the same area and that would require a minimum of additional fixed infrastructure for navigation. It presents the challenges addressed and the layered architecture for ensuring safe operation of each robot and a coordination system using a collection decentralized nodes based on Robot Operating System for obtaining a flexible, smart and scalable logistic system capable of handling and tracking delivery orders based on bar-code labeled packages routed between source fixed conveyor systems (outputs of the warehouse) and destination conveyor systems (the temporary storage for loading into trucks).
