Abstract

See full text

Embodiments describe techniques for controlling picking robots to retrieve items on the floor and return them to an appropriate location. In one embodiment, the picking robots wait until a sensor in a monitored area (e.g., a designated robot area or an area around a pick/stow station) detects a dropped item on the floor. A central control system then dispatches the picking robot to the location to retrieve the dropped item. In another embodiment, when not being dispatched, the picking robots patrol the area looking for dropped items.
