Robotics and automation improve supply chain management by lowering long-haul expenses, boosting work and usage strength, reducing errors, declining repetitive stock checks, updating orchestrating, taking care of times, and assembling induction to the problematic and hazardous places. Robotics aids in design, creation, etc. Automation helps to do tasks that are often done by people through the use of self-operating physical machines, computer software, and other technology. Despite being widely accepted as a tool to aid in decision-making, supply chain management (SCM) has very seldom used AI and ML. This article investigates several AI and ML sub-fields that are best suited for resolving real-world SCM-related issues in order to fully realize the potential benefits of AI and Ml for SCM. In doing so, this article examines the track record of successful AI and ML applications to supply chain management and highlights the most fruitful SCM domains to apply AI and ML. And also find out the how robotics and automations helps in warehouse management. The most recent developments in robotics and automation for supply chain management are thoroughly reviewed in this paper. We first give a general overview of the difficulties that supply chain management faces before going over the many ways that robotics and automation are used at various points along the supply chain. Additionally, we go over the advantages of robots and automation in supply chain management, including higher efficiency, accuracy, lower costs, and improved safety. Lastly, we discuss some of the present drawbacks and difficulties associated with robots and automation in supply chain management and suggest some possible directions for further investigation.","PeriodicalId":494461,"journal":{"name":"Robotic systems and applications","volume":"86 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different localization techniques based on diverse technologies are compared with one another, along with diverse algorithms and techniques for analyzing this information. The article highlights algorithms based on odometry, triangulation, visual analysis, and marker detection. The analysis included global, local, and personal location. One acquires knowledge on which method is suitable for indoor use and which for outdoor use, as well as the appropriate environmental conditions for each. The accuracy of the individual methods was compared with that of integrated systems consisting of several methods. For practical knowledge, it is possible to determine whether a particular method is cost-effective for a particular solution and to compare the expenses involved.","PeriodicalId":494461,"journal":{"name":"Robotic systems and applications","volume":"84 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139959484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
