Abstract
A framework for self-assembly of workcells includes analyzing multiple constraints to determine configuration and movement of mobile robots and/or one or more robotic devices in the performance of workflows. The framework includes multiple elements that model a deployment and transportation strategy in a rules engine for identifying and allocating available workcell resources, and generates configuration schemes and pathway topologies that govern the self-assembly of workcells and execution of workflows using such workcells. The framework is applicable to single or multi-robot configurations, and enables self-assembly of each workcell in a single path or in multiple paths. The framework is further applicable to multiple item processing scenarios, such as round robin processing, batch processing, or both, and accounts for multiple handling and processing actions. The framework further includes a machine learning engine for additional processing of workcell and workflow constraints to improve deployment and transportation outcomes.
