Motivation for CPS

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Why CPS?

  • Robots constantly interacting with humans and other

machines in warehouse

  • Strong need for modeling of potential hazards and ways

to safely and efficiently complete tasks

  • Problem can be abstracted and applied in wide array of
  • ther applications such as autonomous vehicles,

agricultural production, etc.

Challenges

SLIDE 10

Challenges

  • Linear motion has been done in past and in our class, but

what about constrained linear motion with robots attempting to complete tasks within close quarters?

  • No precedent for modeling drone movements in 3D

space, decided on using spherical motion

  • How best to simplify a huge problem with many moving

parts into three simple models?

SLIDE 28
  • We have shown how to distill a complex problem into

three separate models that interact with one another

  • Distributed robotics will play an integral role in

advancing Amazon’s goal in becoming the #1 retailer in the world

  • Wide array of applications will find this system useful,

from farming to retail stores
