Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing robot utilization in autonomous mobile robots by accounting for the battery charge state when assigning missions to be performed by the autonomous mobile robots in a material handling facility. In particular, mission data associated with one or more missions and robot data including a battery charge state associated with one or more robots can be analyzed to determine a robot mission assignment that accounts for battery state charge in order to maximize robot utilization and productivity of material handling tasks.
