  • Publication number: 20230126461
    Abstract: A method for calculating an object pick-and-place sequence and an electronic apparatus for automatic storage pick-and-place are provided. When a warehousing operation is to be performed, the following steps are performed. A weight of an object to be stocked that is to be put on a shelf is obtained. The weight is substituted into a plurality of coordinate positions corresponding to a plurality of unused grid positions respectively, so as to calculate a plurality of estimated center of gravity positions. Whether the estimated center of gravity positions are located within a balance standard area is determined so as to sieve out a plurality of candidate grid positions from these unused grid positions. One of the candidate grid positions is selected as a recommended position of the object to be stocked.
