3D pallet stacking with rigorous vertical stability

Abstract

A number of studies have been conducted on the distributor’s pallet loading problem. However, the problem has rarely been solved for and applied on a real robot. Therefore, a model for solving such problems is created with focus on the solutions being applicable in real life. The main findings of the presented research is that for large problems it is necessary to utilize other approaches than optimization such as meta-heuristics. Furthermore, some model aspects are necessary to address such as stability in order to ensure working solutions.
