Self-learning planning algorithms, based on academic knowledge and machine learning Techniques

Hybrid architecture;

• Warehouse: smart network, ‘dumb’ clients: central intelligence that directs the robots and optimizes the system as a whole (as opposed to isolated optimization on the robot)
• Last mile delivery: ‘dumb’ network, smart clients (drones)
