A new framework called SCALE has been developed to address the challenge of coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets in industrial settings. This framework integrates real-time planning with robust execution by introducing a motion-induced conflict reduction mechanism for online path generation and conflict resolution. To handle disturbances and deviations from planned paths, SCALE employs a generalized Conjugate Action-Precedence Hypergraph (CAPH) that adaptively adjusts robot precedence relations. The effectiveness of SCALE has been demonstrated through extensive experiments and a three-day deployment in a warehouse. AI
IMPACT This framework could improve efficiency and reliability in industrial automation by enabling better coordination of diverse robot fleets.
