Overview of Warehouse Terminal Roboticization Tools

Abstract

Objective: review of modern means of robotization of warehouse terminals, highlighting key trends in development and implementation features, application of modern capabilities of CAE — programs for modeling the movement of robotic equipment. Methods: an overview of robotic equipment used in warehouse terminals is carried out, the classification of robotization means is given by the mode of movement, features of delivery and storage of goods. The results of simulation modeling of the movement of unmanned forklifts in warehouse conditions are given. Results: modeling of dynamic routing of the movement of forklifts based on the readings of a laser rangefinder are presented. Practical significance: the capabilities of the Matlab software package have been investigated for solving the problem of route planning and validation using a hybrid algorithm with a built-in shortest path search procedure using the Reeds — Shepp method, as well as for solving problems.
