I lead a multidisciplinary team selected to develop a fully autonomous warehouse management system, featuring multiple sensor-less mobile robots.
Each robot is built around an ESP32 microcontroller and drives stepper motors—chosen for precise, open-loop motion control instead of conventional DC motors.
Robots operate within a defined arena, autonomously identifying packages, determining correct pickup and drop-off locations, and navigating without human intervention.
A centralized navigation and communication framework monitors all robots in real time, dynamically assigning delivery tasks and coordinating movements to maximize efficiency.
After completing each delivery, robots return to the nearest loading station to await their next assignment.
In fault conditions, a remote operator can seamlessly take control of any robot to steer it clear of active operations, ensuring uninterrupted warehouse workflow.
The first video shows the actual operations and the second video shows how the whole system was communicating and navigating through the given task.
