Abstract In this paper we present an online supervisory control approach, based on limited lookahead policy, that is amenable for the control of multi-agent discrete-event systems. We then apply this online control scheme to model and control a warehouse automation system served by multiple mobile robots; the effectiveness of this scheme is demonstrated through a case study. Moreover, we build an experiment testbed for testing the validity of our proposed method with implementation on real robots.
