AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Robot traffic jams frequently occur in warehouses due to conflicting paths allocated by scheduling devices when multiple robots share areas without goods, especially in scenarios with limited dedicated lanes.
Method used
A path allocation method that prioritizes routes through aisles where shelves are present but not occupied by robots, allowing robots to travel beneath shelves, combined with sub-paths through shelf-free areas, to minimize congestion.
Benefits of technology
Reduces the probability of robot congestion by optimizing path allocation, enhancing traffic efficiency and utilizing shelf areas for robot movement, while maintaining high travel efficiency and reducing the need for additional dedicated lanes.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present application provide a route assignment method and a route assignment device relating to the field of data processing technology. The route assignment method includes determining the destination of a target robot when the target robot is unloaded, assigning a route to the destination to the target robot based on a target aisle where the space below the shelf is not occupied by a robot, and transmitting the assigned route to the target robot. By applying the technical proposal provided by embodiments of the present application, the probability of robot congestion in a warehouse can be reduced.
