Summary
After a short introduction to the general logistics research in Dortmund, we take a deep dive into two specific research topics: Hybrid production and 6D pose estimation for localization of objects in warehouses. The hybrid production is a concept that exploits the advantages of an assembly line and a matrix production by combining both concepts. A key barrier of this concept is the ability to be able to control the output sequence of the matrix production, a highly combinatorial problem. We present a concept that generates production schedules with defined output sequences for the matrix production based on answer set programming (a declarative problem solving approach). In general, such flexible concepts rely on the possibility of locating and tracking the objects in the system. Therefore, we present an approach for 6D pose estimation for localization, to locate and track logistic objects within a warehouse. This project aims to achieve accurate location and tracking performance with low cost RGB cameras instead of costly tracking systems.
