The term "robot fleet" belongs primarily to the categories automation, industry and factory 4.0 as well as robots. A robot fleet refers to a group of several robots that perform tasks together in a coordinated manner. These robots can communicate with each other and coordinate their processes so that they work together particularly efficiently.
An everyday example of a robot fleet can be found in modern warehouses: Several small, autonomous vehicles drive through the shelves and pick up goods for dispatch. While one robot transports a pallet, another simultaneously stacks boxes and a third scans the products. The fleet of robots ensures that no machine waits unnecessarily and that each one knows exactly which task is next. This makes processes much faster than with just a single robot.
Robot fleets are not only used in factories, but also in hospitals, airports and for cleaning large buildings. Thanks to their networking, they can react flexibly to changes and take over many routine tasks from humans. In this way, robot fleets help to save time and costs and maintain a consistently high level of quality.
