Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method of multi-robot fleet control by a network device is provided. The method may include estimating a path to a final target for a robot. The method may include determining whether the robot will traverse a crossing region based on the path to the final target. The method may include, in response to determining that the robot will traverse the crossing region, updating a stop list for the robot to include a stop point for the crossing region. The method may include causing the robot to move to and stop at the stop point for the crossing region until any other robot in the multi-robot fleet arriving at the crossing region prior to the robot has cleared the crossing region. The method may include causing the robot to move to and stop at the emergency stop line during an emergency-operation mode.
