Abstract: Abstract The present invention proposes a robot assisted personnel routing system, in which each autonomous robot is configured to: detect completion of a task operation by one of the human operators, the task operation being associated with the autonomous robot; receive status information, including a location and a dwell time associated with each of other robots, corresponding to other robots operating within the space, the status information; determine, from the status information, a next robot recommendation from other robots to direct the one of the human operators to perform a next task operation; display by the autonomous robot, a location of the next robot recommendation for the one of the human operators to perform the next task operation; and communicate an input selection from the human operators to a monitoring server to designate the next task operation associated with the selected next robot recommendation to avoid redundant recommendation.

Abstract: A method for assigning orders to a plurality of robots fulfilling orders in a warehouse with the assistance of a plurality of operators. The method includes providing a first robot of the plurality of robots to a be assigned an order set, including one or more orders to be fulfilled and assessing the locations of at least one of the plurality of robots or at least one of the plurality of operators in the warehouse. The method also includes selecting an anchor location in the warehouse and generating an order set for the first robot correlated to the anchor location in the warehouse. The method also includes assigning the order set to the first robot for fulfillment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robot navigation management including a server configured to define a first zone and a second, adjacent zone within an environment, a threshold along a border between the first and second zones, and a waypoint associated with the threshold. One or more autonomous robots in communication with the server are configured to determine a route from the first zone to the second zone crossing the threshold, the route including a waypoint; and navigate the robot along the route from the first zone to the second zone, including traversing the waypoint in conjunction with crossing the threshold.
