Bio-Inspired Traffic Pattern Generation for Multi-AMR Systems

In intralogistics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operate without predefined paths, leading to complex traffic patterns and potential conflicts that impact system efficiency.This paper proposes a bio-inspired optimization method for autonomously generating spatial movement constraints for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).Unlike traditional multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) approaches, which focus on temporal coordination, our approach proactively reduces conflicts by adapting a weighted directed grid graph moondrop quarks to improve traffic flow.This is achieved through four mechanisms inspired by ant colony systems: (1) a movement reward that decreases the weight of traversed edges, similar to pheromone deposition, (2) a delay penalty that increases edge weights along delayed paths, (3) a collision penalty that increases weights at conflict locations, and (4) an evaporation mechanism that prevents premature convergence to suboptimal solutions.Compared to the existing approaches, the proposed approach addresses the entire intralogistic problem, including plant layout, task distribution, release and dispatching wella color touch 77 45 algorithms, and fleet size.

Its autonomous movement rule generation and low computational complexity make it well suited for dynamic intralogistic environments.Validated through physics-based simulations in Gazebo across three scenarios, a standard MAPF benchmark, and two industrial environments, the movement constraints generated using the proposed method improved the system throughput by up to 10% compared to unconstrained navigation and up to 4% compared to expert-designed solutions while reducing the need for conflict-resolution interventions.
