Paper
A classical problem in robotics consists in organizing the moves of a single robot (or of several robots) which have to pick up a collection of items with different sizes along a storage line. A robot may pick up several items during a trip and it has to pile them, which implies that larger items have to be placed below smaller ones: in other words, during a trip a robot has to pick up items in decreasing order of their sizes. Different hypotheses made on the possible moves of a robot along the storage line (or corridor) or assumptions on the location of the entry/exit points of the corridor will lead to different problems. It turns out that these will correspond to some graph coloring models; it is our objective to derive some of these generalized coloring models and to present some basic results on their complexity.
