or completely eliminate the limit.

I agree with removing the maximum limit for the robot to carry objects!

steup commented 4 years ago

I do not agree, because it is a challenge for planning. However I am open for a dynamic limit based on tasks. E.G:

It also allows us to create tasks, which are tailored for new teams without a working inventory If we see major benefits in the large transportation limits, we can remove the limit in the future.

@steup The planning shouldn’t only be based on software but also on hardware design. This is an actual scenario in manufacturing where tools are designed to increase productivity. Removing the limit would enable teams to be innovative to increase their robot’s productivity.

deebuls commented 4 years ago

@asadnorouzi and @steup agree with both.

We need to benchmark hardware designing we also need to benchmark planning.

Let the refbox decide how many objects to pick and place? What do you people think?

On a more random thought about the planning problem: Can the refbox also decide randomly points for each objects ?

asadnorouzi commented 4 years ago

I don’t think we should make it more complicated at this stage. Removing the maximum objects to be carried by the robot doesn’t make it more complicated, but opens up more innovative ideas. However, have it randomized by the RefBox makes it more complicated. I disagree to make such complications at this time. I like the idea but maybe we could discuss it for 2021!
