Summary
This project aims to derive three key components required for the development of an AI-based pallet assessment and cubing engine. First, to structure domain expertise by modeling pallet and product properties. Secondly, to validate the technical feasibility of a physical simulation to assess pattern stability. Finally, to demonstrate that an AI algorithm can learn to generate or evaluate patterns from a limited set of rules. These steps are fundamental to laying the foundations for an intelligent, reliable and adaptable machine capable of supporting robust, accurate and scalable automated palletizing solutions.

First, to structure domain expertise by modeling pallet and product properties. Secondly, to validate the technical feasibility of a physical simulation to assess pattern stability.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à dérisquer trois composantes clés nécessaires au développement d’un engin d’évaluation et de cubage de palettes par IA. D’abord, structurer l’expertise du domaine en modélisant les propriétés des palettes et produits. Ensuite, valider la faisabilité technique d’une simulation physique pour évaluer la stabilité des patrons. Enfin, démontrer qu’un algorithme d’IA peut apprendre à générer ou évaluer des patrons à partir d’un jeu de règles limité. Ces étapes sont fondamentales pour jeter les bases d’un engin intelligent, fiable et adaptable, capable de soutenir des solutions de palettisation automatisée robustes, précises et évolutives.
