Abstract
SummaryThe sorting efficiency of the warehouse management and handling robots (automated guided vehicles [AGVs]) in an unmanned warehouse affects the delivery and lead time of orders. Studying the collaborative sorting of multiple AGVs can significantly improve work efficiency. The goal of this paper is to minimize the overall shortest transportation path and time while ensuring the completion of all orders and corresponding recycling or return tasks. This paper conducts experiments on global path planning for multiple AGVs based on the A* algorithm, both without considering collision and deadlock situations, and considering collision and deadlock situations. The results show that without considering collision and deadlock situations, the method of matching fixed storage locations and picking stations can improve overall efficiency, while considering collision and deadlock problems will result in reduced efficiency. In the future, the model will be further optimized taking into account actual conditions to improve overall efficiency.
