Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting
