Abstract
In the paper the problem of an automatic pallet loading with the usage of a robot is considered. In the logistic processes of trade business commodities are distributed from stores to retailers on pallets. In the paper the methods of pallet loading are analyzed in terms of the robot packing abilities. In order to put an item in a given place in a partially loaded pallet, robot needs to have free access to this place, so it cannot be blocked. A graph model is proposed to represent the relative positions of items on pallets and a method for sequencing of robot packing operations is formulated. It is also shown that not all patterns of pallet packing can be realized by a robot.
