Abstract

Given a set of rectangular-shaped items such as dishes, cups, saucers, or forks and a rectangular tray of a cart, the three-dimensional single bin packing problem (3D-BPP) involves orthogonally packing a subset of the items within the tray. If the value of an item is given by its volume, the objective is to maximize the covered volume of the tray. Thus, this paper aims to optimize the transport capacity of a serving robot carrying a cart. This experiment, the first of its type, proves the feasibility of this endeavor efficiently.
