The term „Synchronised Multi-Robot Planning“ originates from the fields of automation, industry and Industry 4.0, and robotics. It describes how multiple robots are coordinated to work together efficiently to complete tasks without hindering each other.
Synchronised multi-robot planning involves robots working as a team rather than individually. To achieve this, their paths, working times, and tasks must be precisely coordinated. The goal is for all robots to be in the right place at the right time, ensuring production runs smoothly.
A simple example from automotive production: several robot arms simultaneously install car doors, engines, and seats. Thanks to synchronised planning, each robot knows exactly when and where it needs to work. This prevents, for example, one robot getting in another's way or both accessing the same area.
Synchronised multi-robot planning increases productivity, saves time, and reduces the risk of errors or downtime. It is an important building block of modern, automated manufacturing and helps companies to work more flexibly and efficiently.
