N2 - Warehouses are increasingly experiencing a shortage of human resources. The first approaches to counteract this are flexible robot systems that are designed to support human workers. Mobile picking robots, i.e., robots that can pick independently in an order picking system, are increasingly used. At the moment, however, there is no suitable planning tool that sufficiently takes into account the system behavior of such hybrid picking systems. This paper investigates the influence of human-robot interaction on different aisle widths and layout variants. In addition, zoning is examined as a strategy and compared with the initial system. The paper finally shows that the need for coordinated processes and strategies in hybrid systems is even higher than it already is in conventional order picking systems.
