主题： Human-Robot Collaboration in Order Picking

主讲人：Prof. René de Koster, Erasmus University Rotterdam（荷兰伊拉斯姆斯大学）

主持人：张显东 复旦大学管理学院教授

Abstract:

The new generation of warehouses is gradually becoming robotized. Managers can select from many different competitive robotic techniques to store and retrieve loads and to fulfil the customer orders. In my talk, I discuss cobot order picking systems, where people work together with robots to pick the orders in warehouses, and focus on two main collaboration policies: fixed versus swarm. I will present four research questions in this area, addressed with different methods, namely: RQ1: Should we zone the system? RQ2: Which method is better (for the pickers): leading or following a robot? RQ3: How to route the picker and stack the pallet? and RQ4: Which operating policy is better: system directed or swarm? In order to answer these questions, (approximate) optimization models (queuing networks, SDP, and integer programming models) and empirical methods are used. I will share some insights obtained.
