The automatedorder fulfillment system further includes mobile robots which move around the storage structure to transfercontainers or totes to and from the storage spaces within the structure. In one example, the storagestructure may include horizontal floors or platforms around at least a portion of the storage structureenabling mobile robots to travel to and from the storage structure, horizontal tracks enabling mobilerobots to travel horizontally to and from storage spaces on a given level, and vertical towers enablingmobile robots to travel vertically between levels.

Traditionally, inventory items are stored in containers andarranged on rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container, or bin, holds a plurality of items of one or more product types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for an operator or robot tomigrate the aisles and retrieve the items. It is well understood that the aisles reduce the storage densityof the system. In other words, the amount of space actually used for the storage of products (e.g., theshelving) is relatively small compared to the amount of space required for the storage system as a whole.As warehouse space is often scarce and expensive, alternative storage systems that maximize storage spaceare desired.

These self-contained manufacturing cells provide an avenue throughwhich robotics may be leveraged in manufacturing or fabrication processes. It may be understood thatworkpieces operated on by the robotic arms of manufacturing cells may vary significantly in shape, size,materials, etc. The manufacturing cell may also include one or more sensors for monitoring the workpieceand/or manufacturing tool attached to the robotic arm, and a control system or controller which controlsthe operation of the robotic arm and/or manufacturing tool based on feedback received from the one ormore sensors of the manufacturing cell. The manufacturing cell may also include a platform for physicallysupporting the robotic arm, controller, one or more sensors, and a positioner used to position the workpiecerelative to the robotic arm.”
