Smart Warehouse Swarm

Coordinate a swarm of autonomous mobile robots picking orders. Grow the fleet for throughput - but past a point congestion and charging eat the gains, and every added robot hurts flow. Set the fleet and policies, then press Run (or Step for one round at a time) and beat Par over 20 rounds.

Smart Warehouse Swarm - congestion and Little's law

The concept

A swarm of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) picks orders. Throughput rises with fleet size, then bends over as robots congest each other.

How it works

Picks per hour scale with robots and batching, minus a congestion loss that grows with fleet density and narrow aisles - the queueing intuition behind Little's law.

Winning strategy

Add robots only while the marginal robot lifts picks per hour more than it adds congestion; widen aisles or use dynamic zoning to push the peak out.

throughput = robots × pickRate × batchEff × (1 − charge) − congestion ; L = λW
