Abstract
Method and apparatus for optimizing control of robotic systems. Failures of a robotic device performing a lifting operation for one or more items within a fulfillment center over a window of time are monitored. Responsive to the failures exceeding a predefined threshold number of failures for the window of time, one or more control operations for optimizing performance of the robotic device are determined, by processing environmental metrics, failure type, mode of operation and item type information as inputs to a trained machine learning model. A control system for the robotic device is configured based on the determined one or more control operations, and movement of the robotic device is controlled using the configured control system, to perform the lifting operation for one or more additional items within the fulfillment center.
