In the field of logistics warehousing robots, collaborative operation and coordinated control have always been challenging issues. Although deep learning and reinforcement learning methods have made some progress in solving these problems, however, current research still has shortcomings. In particular, research on adaptive sensing and real-time decision-making of multi-robot swarms has not yet received sufficient attention.

Methods

To fill this research gap, we propose a YOLOv5-PPO model based on A3C optimization. This model cleverly combines the target detection capabilities of YOLOv5 and the PPO reinforcement learning algorithm, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of collaborative operations among logistics and warehousing robot groups.

Results

Through extensive experimental evaluation on multiple datasets and tasks, the results show that in different scenarios, our model can successfully achieve multi-robot collaborative operation, significantly improve task completion efficiency, and maintain target detection and environment High accuracy of understanding.

Discussion

In addition, our model shows excellent robustness and adaptability and can adapt to dynamic changes in the environment and fluctuations in demand, providing an effective method to solve the collaborative operation problem of logistics warehousing robots.
