Abstract
Techniques are provided to manage routing of mobile objects in a given environment. For example, a method is performed by an object routing system. The object routing system receives a request for a given mobile object to traverse from a first location to a second location in a physical environment which is logically partitioned into a plurality of grid locations. The object routing system computes a route for the given mobile object to traverse from the first location to the second location. The computed route comprises a sequence of grid locations which are reserved at corresponding times, wherein each grid location of the computed route is reserved for the corresponding time that the given mobile object is expected to traverse through the grid location. The object routing system commands the given mobile object to traverse the computed route.
