Abstract

This study develops a human-centric human-robot collaboration framework for Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems. By integrating stochastic optimal control with non-cooperative game theory, we enable Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to adapt to real-time picker stress. Using an Extended Kalman Filter for state estimation, the model dynamically adjusts AMRs movement rates based on Nash equilibria targets. Numerical analyses show stress reductions of up to 47% with minimal productivity loss, aligning warehouse operations with Industry 5.0.
