Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamically repositioning inventory items in a space. The exemplary systems may be configured to receive a signal indicating a change in demand for a product, in which a plurality of items of the product are positioned at a first location within the space. The systems may be configured to determine a second location within the space for positioning at least some items such that a collection time is reduced. The systems may be further configured to generate a route for an autonomous vehicle that includes the first and second locations, as well as a third location where an item for an order is positioned. The systems may then trigger navigation of the autonomous vehicle, based on the route, to reposition the items from the first location to the second location and to collect the item for the order.
