Abstract: In order to optimise the path scheduling of the transport robot, shorten the operation time and improve the operation efficiency, a path coordination and scheduling method for the transport robot considering three-dimensional goods are proposed. Firstly, a transport robot path coordination scheduling model considering three-dimensional storage is constructed, and then the improved grey wolf optimisation algorithm is used to solve the path coordination scheduling model, so as to obtain the optimal operation path of the transport robot considering the three-dimensional storage space of the smart warehouse. It is verified by experiments that this method has a good scheduling effect when considering the operation path of the three-dimensional cargo space handling robot in the smart warehouse. When transporting 500 m-2,500 m goods, the time can be shortened by 5-13 min, and the working efficiency of the handling robot can be improved.

Keywords: intelligent warehouse; three-dimensional cargo space; carry; robot; path; coordinated scheduling.
