Simulation of Multi-robot Cooperative Scheduling System Based on ROS

Abstract

Aiming at improving the management and scheduling efficiency of multi-robot in warehouse environment, a simulation method based on ROS system using 3D model and virtual activities to realize multi-robot collaborative scheduling was proposed and a multi-robot cooperating and scheduling system based on ROS was established, which includes building multi-robot simulation model, designing warehouse simulation environment, building multi-robot architecture and communication, task allocation and scheduling based on the minimum cost method. The system has the functions of map building, automatic navigation and obstacle avoidance, as well as the optimal scheduling of multi-objective points. The simulation results showed that the multi-robot collaborative scheduling system can reduce the workload of managers and improve the work efficiency of multi-robot.
