The FLeet of Autonomous Robots and Fleet Management Software

Project description

Autonomous indoor robots for efficient logistics

Τhe demand for robots is increasing. The market requires sophisticated mobile robots equipped with remote monitoring and data sharing capabilities. With this in mind, the EU-funded AdvoBots project introduces fully autonomous mobile indoor robots designed to address inefficiencies in picking and labour losses within logistics and e-commerce warehouses. These robots use advanced software, enabling monitoring through a sophisticated web interface, remote accident support, data analysis, and seamless data exchange with the warehouse management system. The AI-based solution incorporates mapping, positioning, path planning, and autonomous driving capabilities, all made possible by leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) and FMS (Fleet Management System).

Objective

Advoard Robotics produces fully autonomous mobile robots that are aware of each other's location and route information, and develops software to prevent inefficient picking and labor losses in logistics and e-commerce warehouses. These robots can be monitored through an advanced web interface; remote accident support and data analysis can be done. At the same time, data can be exchanged with the warehouse management system. This solution includes mapping, positioning, path planning, autonomous driving capability of each robot and sharing this information. Robots moving in fleets work with maximum efficiency at minimum route length thanks to algorithms based on artificial intelligence.
The technology we have developed includes mapping, positioning, path planning, autonomous driving capability of each robot and sharing this information. Robots that move in fleets work with maximum efficiency at minimum route length thanks to algorithms based on artificial intelligence. The most important technologies used are SLAM (simultaneous positioning and mapping) and FMS (fleet management system). The SLAM process uses a complex set of calculations, algorithms, and sensor inputs to navigate a previously unknown environment or to revise the map of a previously known environment and find a location. Fleet Management System (FMS) is applied to manage and control more than one robot working within the units. FMS provides complete, centralized and decentralized management of the robot fleet, allowing users to manage different mobile robotic systems from a variety of devices via standard communication protocols. In FMS, robots share route and location information with each other. In the light of this information, our algorithms determine the routes in which the robots will perform their tasks without colliding, according to our traffic rule sets.
