Mobile Robot for Automated Storage & Retrieval System

Abstract

The automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are major material handling support systems that are commonly used in the automated factories, distribution centers, warehousing, and non-manufacturing environments. These robot-based handling systems are increasingly applied in distribution centers and are of high demand in e-commerce operations because of their less space requirement, higher operational flexibility and continuous ability to work thereby continuously produce output 24/7. The study will be focused on the advantages and applications of this robotic system in the Automated Storage & Retrieval System, thereby comparing it with the robot operating on the ground.
