Balancing fairness and efficiency in order allocation for quick-commerce applications

<title>Abstract</title> Purpose - This study proposes an approach for deciding the optimal allocation of orders in context of last-mile delivery services. We attempt to model and analyze the inherent trade-off between operational efficiency (driving the least to deliver orders wh...

A deterministic coordinate-based closed-loop robotic manipulator for reliable low-cost pick-and-place automation

Purpose This study aims to design, fabricate and experimentally validate a low-cost robotic manipulator capable of executing flexible point-to-point pick-and-place operations based on user-defined motion. This study focuses on improving the positioning accuracy and operational re...
