Human Aspects in Collaborative Order Picking - Letting Robotic Agents Learn about Human Discomfort

Human aspects in collaboration of humans and robots, as common in warehousing, are considered increasingly important objectives in operations management. This work aims to let robots learn about human discomfort in collaborative order picking of robotic mobile fulfillment systems. To this end, a multi-agent reinforcement (MARL) approach that...

Human Aspects in Collaborative Order Picking – What if Robots Learned How to Give Humans a Break?

Human aspects in collaboration of humans and robots, as common in warehousing, are considered increasingly important objectives in operations management. In this work, we let robots learn about human stress levels based on sensor data in collaborative order picking of robotic mobile fulfillment systems. To this end, we develop a multi-agent...
