1. 1. Suppression of Li-ion Battery Fires

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Linfan Cai; [2023]
   Keywords : Lithium-ion Battery; Fire Suppression System; Extinguishing Agent; Thermal Runaway; Battery Energy Storage System; Electric Vehicle; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a systematic literature review of fixed fire suppression systems and extinguishing agents for lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires. The review identifies 85 relevant sources published between 2013 and March 2023, and categorises different research experiments into cell-level, module-level, electric vehicle (EV) pack-level, battery energy storage system (BESS) rack-level and warehouse storage experiments, according to LIB configurations.

3. 2. Assessing the Impact of Centralizationon Safety Stock : A Scenario Based Case Study to Support Companies Exploring the Benefits of Utilizing a Centralized Warehouse Strategy in the Absence of Historical Data

   University essay from KTH/Produktionsutveckling

   Author : Shashank Koundinya; Emil Ekendahl; [2023]
   Keywords : Safety Stock; Centralized Warehousing; Inventory Strategy; Data Modelling; Supply Chain Management;

   Abstract : This master thesis investigates the comparison between centralized and decentralized warehousing systems, focusing on the variation in safety stock levels and the associated safety stock holding value. The aim of this research is to address the existing knowledge gap by introducing a methodology that utilizes scenario analysis in different potential locations, incorporating a range of plausible future circumstances and integrating them into a sophisticated mathematical model.

4. 3. Collision Avoidance for Complex and Dynamic Obstacles : A study for warehouse safety

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

   Author : Sandra Ljungberg; Ester Brandås; [2022]
   Keywords : Object Detection; Object Tracking; Obstacle Avoidance; Collision Avoidance; Automated Guided Vehicle;

   Abstract : Today a group of automated guided vehicles at Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Sweden detect and avoid objects primarily by using 2D-LiDAR, with shortcomings being the limitation of only scanning the area in a 2D plane and missing objects close to the ground. Several dynamic obstacles exist in the environment of the vehicles. READ MORE

5. 4. Safe Reinforcement Learning for Human-Robot Collaboration : Shielding of a Robotic Local Planner in an Autonomous Warehouse Scenario

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Lukas Vordemann; [2022]
   Keywords : Human-Robot Collaboration; Safe Reinforcement Learning; Shielding; Risk Management; Autonomous Warehouse; Människa-Robot Samarbete; Säker Förstärkningsinlärning; Avskärmning; Riskhantering; Autonomt Lager;

   Abstract : Reinforcement Learning (RL) is popular to solve complex tasks in robotics, but using it in scenarios where humans collaborate closely with robots can lead to hazardous situations. In an autonomous warehouse, mobile robotic units share the workspace with human workers which can lead to collisions, because the positions of humans or non-static obstacles are not known by the robot.

6. 5. Network Slicing to Enhance Edge Computing for Automated Warehouse

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Xiaoyi Wei; [2022]
   Keywords : Network Slicing; Wi-Fi; 5G; Human-Robot Collaboration; Multi-access Edge Computing; Nätverksskärning; Wi-Fi; 5G; Samarbete mellan människa och robot; Multi-access Edge Computing;

   Abstract : In a previous work, a distributed safety framework supported by edge computing was developed to enable real-time response of robots that collaborate with humans in the Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) scenario. However, as the number of robots in the automated warehouse increases, the network is easier to induce the congestion. READ MORE
