| Abstract: | This study investigates the impact of integrating autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) into order picking, with a particular focus on how age influence human performance. Our research employs a multimethod approach, combining descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and post-experiment survey data analysis to evaluate the effects of AMR-assisted picking compared to manual cart picking. The results demonstrate that AMRs significantly reduce order-picking times (OPTs) and variability in performance across both age groups, with the older group showing an OPT improvement of 23.68%, and the younger group 29.40%. The ANOVA revealed that age significantly influenced OPTs. Additionally, the survey data indicated that participants perceived AMRs as simple to use and collaborative, with a strong positive correlation between AMR positioning and collaboration experience. These findings highlight the benefits of AMRs in enhancing efficiency and consistency in warehouse operations. The study underscores the importance of considering human factors in the design and implementation of robotic systems, paving the way for a human-centric Industry 5.0. Future research should attempt to achieve empirical data from real industrial operations, with the focus on larger sample sizes and the long-term effects of AMR integration on job satisfaction and overall performance. |
