…interacting in the warehouse space. “We have information about localization, the different types of sensors that we use within the warehouse to try to identify where the robots are located, and the actual movement of the robot,” said Kuhl. “Can they plan to get from the current location to destination safely and efficiently? They can have a short path, but they still need to avoid other robots and people.” Using deep neural network strategies—types of machine learning techniques—RIT researchers trained the system components to make specific, sequenced decisions based on common tasks, but also infrequent or unusual actions that might…
