Manipulation Planning and Control for Shelf Replenishment

a simulation-optimization approach for replenishment planning and shelf space allocation in retail industry under zone- and stock-dependent demand

asimulation-optimization approach is proposed for replenishment planning andshelf space allocation. the customers’ demand is divided into fixed andvariable demand. each customer follows a given path while shopping in thestore. by dividing the store space into several zones and calculating therelated substantial and random utilities, an analytical equation is proposedfor the probability of zone ...

Planning and Control of Two-Link Rigid Flexible Manipulators in Dynamic Object Manipulation Missions

This research focuses on proposing an optimal trajectory planning and control method of two link rigid-flexible manipulators (TLRFM) for Dynamic Object Manipulation (DOM) missions. For the first time, achievement of DOM task using a rotating one flexible link robot was taken into account in [20]. The authors do not aim to contribute on either trajectory tracking or vibration control of the End-...

Interleaving Planning and Control for Deformable Object Manipulation

RFID-enabled shelf replenishment with backroom monitoring in retail stores

This contribution is concerned with the value of RFID for retail store operations, particularly the use of the technology to automate shelf replenishment decisions. We construct and test an inventory control policy based on RFID data with case-level tagging. Our model incorporates RFID hardware capable of detecting bidirectional product movements between a store's backroom and the sales floor. ...
