Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa ion supplied by the inventors: “The development of e-commerce has brought about an increase in order fulfillment, shipment, and distribution. To handle this in crease, warehouses, distribution centers, or facilities often utilize systems of robotic agents to perform various tasks. For example, robotic agents may pick item(s) for fulfilling orders, re-stock item(s), induct item(s) or packages for s hipment, sort item(s), and so forth. Oftentimes, computing resource(s) located r emotely from the facility coordinate performance of the tasks within the facilit ies. In such instances, the robotic agent(s) may be in communication with the co mputing resource(s) either directly or indirectly (e.g., via a computing device) . However, existing platforms or services have limited throughput and/or stateful memory. This results in slowed processes, dropped task(s), and/or decreased op erational performance.”
