Abstract
There is provided an automated storage and retrieval system including: a rack storing a plurality of bins for containing items; a picking station for picking the item from the bin; and a transportation robot for transporting the bin between the rack and the picking station. The picking station defines one or more picking positions at which the transportation robot transporting the bin is arranged to enable picking work of the item from the bin, and one or more retracted positions at which the transportation robot temporarily retracts the bin from the picking position.
