Work description
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in the use of mobile robots to carry out different tasks in manufacturing environments. Given the diverse tasks to be performed in an industrial environment, these fleets are characterized by heterogeneous robots, in terms of their characteristics and capabilities. On the other hand, the use of these vehicles in poorly structured environments is subject to failures of various natures. Therefore, the idea of this work is to investigate and develop possible algorithms in simulation to carry out the scheduling and planning of the trajectories of fleets of heterogeneous mobile robots (with different characteristics and capabilities, fully automatic and tele-operated/remote-assisted systems, communication failures) in which information about the production lines is entered (planning the location of the lines, in online mode knowing about possible delays and/or small changes) and procedural failures of the robots (the vehicles are unable to solve problems they encounter on their own) , etc. The objective will be to find a set of algorithms that allow planning the location of production lines and allocating tasks to vehicles and replanning them online, depending on the different failure situations that may be encountered.
