Abstract
An object handling coordination system includes a plurality of transporting vessels arranged as a three-dimensional cluster of transporting vessels. The plurality of transporting vessels is addressable and the cluster has a self-reconfigurable physical topology. A relocatable transporting vessel is configured to be relocatable within the. A motion control system is configured to determine a path from a start location of the relocatable transporting vessel within the cluster to a destination location within the cluster and arranged to execute movement of the relocatable transporting vessel within the cluster using the determined path.
