Abstract
Systems and methods of dynamically controlling robots are described. A first robot may be controlled to move a pod to a cart-filling station. A first subset of destinations for the cart-filling station may be determined. First control instructions may be sent to a robotic sortation device at the cart-filling station. The first control instructions may be effective to allocate the first set of destinations to the robotic sortation device. A second robot may be controlled to move a first cart associated with a first destination of the first set of destinations to the cart-filling station. The robotic sortation device may select a first item from the pod associated with the first destination. The robotic sortation device may place the first item in the first cart and the second robot may be controlled to remove the first cart from the cart-filling station.
