This paper presents a fast optimization method for the picking order sequence of automated order picking systems in logistics warehouses. In this order sequencing problem (OSP), the fulfillment sequence of the given picking order set is determined to optimize the performance measures such as makespa
We present a capacitive sensor suitable for a gripper that uses thin films of gecko-inspired adhesives. The sensor is fabricated directly on the films and measures the area over which the adhesive makes intimate contact. In experiments, a new underactuated gripper uses adhesive films to acquire and
Active sensing provides a way to assess whether a thin film of gecko-inspired adhesive has made good contact with a surface. This knowledge is useful for applications like gripping objects in space where a failed grasp could lead to loss of the object. Our active sensing approach uses Lamb waves in
