<p style="margin: 0px;" dir="ltr">The steady increase in worldwide transport tasks asks for improved autonomous solutions. Following the RoboCup spirit the Logistics league’s objective is to enable scientific work in order to achieve a flexible solution of material and informational flow within industrial production using self-organising Robots.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px;" dir="ltr">This next evolution of Automated Guided Vehicles calls for new technologies to overcome present non feasibilities. At present, the competition envisages a kind of hardware-in-the-loop simulation method, i.e. there is a flexible simulated production hall with integrated real mobile robot systems having the task to create an efficient material flow to provide a high rate of product deliveries in due time.</p>
