Abstract

An embodiment for controlling material movement with swarm power generating robots in a multi-machine environment is provided. The embodiment may include receiving data relating to an activity and one or more material handling devices to perform the activity. The embodiment may also include identifying one or more characteristics of one or more objects associated with the activity. The embodiment may further include predicting an amount of power required to transport the one or more objects. The embodiment may also include in response to determining at least one material handling device is unable to produce the required amount of power, identifying one or more power generation robots capable of transmitting the required amount of power to the at least one material handling device. The embodiment may further include deploying the one or more power generation robots to a target location of the at least one material handling device.
