Description
Summary:This study presents a Warehouse Robot Localization and Communication System prototype to optimize battery management and workflow in warehouses. Autonomous mobile robots equipped with advanced localization and wireless communication technologies coordinate to prevent downtime. When the battery level of the robot drops below a certain threshold, it communicates with the main computer to request assistance. Another robot then takes over its task, allowing the low-battery robot to reach a charging station. Using an overhead camera module and an A* algorithm for optimal pathfinding, robots navigate efficiently. A Python-based user interface enables monitoring and control. This prototype system has the potential for industrial applications with future enhancements.
