ROBOTIC LOAD HANDLER COORDINATION SYSTEM, CELL GRID SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COORDINATING A ROBOTIC LOAD HANDLER

摘要

A robotic load handler coordination system includes a robotic load handler configured for traversing, when in use, a plurality of cells arranged in a grid formation. The load handler is arranged to receive an instruction associated with execution of a selected determined route from a starting cell to a destination cell. A processing resource is arranged to support a movement optimiser, the movement optimiser being arranged to determine a plurality of routes iteratively using an A* pathfinding algorithm in order to determine a number of sets of routes respectively from a number of the plurality of cells to the destination cell. The number of the plurality of cells includes the starting cell, and the movement optimiser is arranged to select an optimum route to the destination cell from the set of routes in respect of the starting cell.
