OPTIMIZING ROBOTIC CARGO ALLOCATION IN SPACE STATIONS USING TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM MODELS: TOWARD SUSTAINABLE DEEP- SPACE LOGISTICS
Keywords:
.Abstract
One of the key factors to ensuring long-term sustainability of space stations is the effectiveallocation of any resources where the energy, time, and storage space are all very limited.The work uses the classic operations research problem: transportation problem, in order tofind how autonomous robot fleets should assign cargo in a space station. The supplying nodes have storage bays which provide the basic necessities such as oxygen tanks
