The term "synchronised multi-robot planning" originates from the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. It describes how several robots are coordinated in such a way that they perform tasks together efficiently without hindering each other.
Synchronised multi-robot planning involves robots working as a team rather than individually. To achieve this, their routes, working times and tasks must be precisely synchronised. The aim is to ensure that all robots are in the right place at the right time so that production runs smoothly.
A simple example from automotive production: several robot arms simultaneously insert car doors, engines and seats. Thanks to synchronised planning, each robot knows exactly when and where it needs to work. This prevents, for example, one robot getting in the way of another or both accessing the same area.
Synchronised multi-robot planning increases productivity, saves time and reduces the risk of errors or downtime. It is an important component of modern, automated production and helps companies to work more flexibly and efficiently.
