自动化仓库面临存储密度与取货吞吐量之间的根本权衡。虽然无过道的拼图式存储(PBS)架构可通过消除通道提高容量,但在高密度空间中协调多机器人仍存在计算挑战。本文提出一种新型多机器人有序存取问题形式化:在矩形2D网格中,均匀尺寸的货物首先满载存储,随后按预定到达与离开序列取出。核心贡献是设计了一种在线优先级多智能体路径规划算法。该算法基于已有工作构建支持逐个存取、无需移动已有货物的排列结构,通过利用此类结构的内在不变性,在保持解耦规划可扩展性的同时,保证在满载密度下完整、无死锁的并行执行。实验表明,当机器人数量达到网格开放边宽C时,完成时间接近线性改善;此外,算法支持可容忍有限不确定性的鲁棒存储布局,对执行完成时间影响极小。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Automated warehouses face a fundamental trade-off between maximizing storage density and achieving high retrieval throughput. While puzzle-based storage (PBS) architectures increase capacity by eliminating aisles, coordinating multiple robots in these high-density spaces is computationally challenging. This paper formalizes the challenge through a novel multi-robot problem formulation for ordered storage and retrieval: We consider rectangular 2D grids, where uniform-sized loads are first stored, up to full capacity, and subsequently retrieved according to prescribed arrival and departure sequences. The main contribution of this work is an online prioritized multi-agent path planning algorithm for this problem. The algorithm builds on prior work that constructs arrangements supporting sequential storage and retrieval, i.e., of one load at a time, without relocating loads. By exploiting the structural invariants of such arrangements, we achieve the scalability of decoupled planning while guaranteeing complete, deadlock-free parallel execution even at full storage density. Experiments demonstrate that the algorithm achieves near-linear improvement in makespan with respect to the number of robots, up to $C$ robots, where $C$ is the width of the grid's open side. Furthermore, the algorithm supports robust storage arrangements that accommodate bounded uncertainty in the departure sequence, with negligible impact on execution makespan.
