Description
The Cognitive Conveyor consists of small-scale, multidirectional transport modules, each much smaller than the good to convey. Connected to a larger matrix, these modules are capable of solving any possible transportation task, such as sorting, merging and sequencing. Previous work addressed the routing algorithms and the forming of neighborhoods of modules.
Planned routes and their intersections may overlap on the cognitive conveyor. As this paper shows, the overlapping of intersections leads to a high risk of local deadlocks. This paper discusses how these deadlocks can be prevented.
