The joint work of Russian and Israeli scientists has led to the discovery of a new algorithm that can reduce the time to complete tasks with robots by 20%. A similar result surpasses most of the world’s analogues.

When using the new group of robots, moving in a closed space, they were able to accomplish the task 20% faster than when working on the old algorithm. The success of researchers is important from the point of view of the constantly growing demand for the provision of warehouses or the maintenance of other industrial premises of the closed type with such machines.

The algorithm is based on the principle of planning the shortest safe trajectories, when moving along which robots avoid collisions and spend a minimum of time. This ensures a significant increase in performance and reduction of energy consumption.

The difference of the approach of the Russian and Israeli scientists is that with the new algorithm the robot does not stand idle in the case of the early completion of the task, but immediately proceeds to the next step. Using the method of calculating unsafe intervals, that is, the waiting period to prevent a collision with another machine, the new algorithm was successfully tested on a group of robots, whose number varied from four to twenty.
