Robot assembly discovery (RAD) is a challenging problem that lives at the intersection of
resource allocation and motion planning. The goal is to combine a predefined set of objects …

Given automated order systems, detailed characteristics of items and vehicles enable the
detailed planning of deliveries including more efficient and safer loading of distribution …

This book originates from a long-lasting research effort aimed at tackling difficult non-
standard packing issues arising in space engineering and logistics. In this framework the …

The optimization of cargo loading and transportation are two highly considered optimization
problems (namely “3L-CVRP”). The combination of both has attracted increasing interest in …

This chapter examines the problem of packing tetris-like items, orthogonally, with the
possibility of rotations, into a convex domain, in the presence of additional conditions. An …

In this article, a recently proposed three-dimensional open-dimension rectangular packing
problem is considered, in which the objective is to find a minimal volume rectangular …

This article addresses the three-dimensional open-dimension rectangular packing problem
(3D-ODRPP), which aims to pack a given set of unequal-size rectangular boxes within an …

This article studies the three-dimensional open-dimension rectangular packing problem (3D-
ODRPP) in which a set of given rectangular boxes is packed into a large container of …

We present formulation and heuristic solution of a container packing problem observed in a
household equipment factory's sales and logistics department. The main feature of the …

Abstract The “Distributor's Pallet Packing Problem” in a real industrial scenario is addressed
in this paper. The main goal is to develop a two-stage algorithm capable to provide the …
