Abstract:
An AAMP system includes a plurality of AAMP system stations disposed in an environment and configured to perform one or more AAMP processing routines, and a plurality of robots configured to autonomously travel within the environment, where one or more robots from among the plurality of robots include an auxiliary AAMP processing station configured to perform one or more auxiliary AAMP processing routines. The AAMP system includes a controller configured to select an AAMP system station from among the plurality of AAMP system stations to perform the one or more AAMP processing routines based on AAMP system operation data and select a robot from among the plurality of robots to initiate the one or more AAMP processing routines at the selected AAMP system station based on a digital model of the environment and robot operation data, where the robot operation data includes an auxiliary processing state.
