A market economy for autonomous machines.
Robots bid for work, energy, and charging time. Prices coordinate the warehouse in real time. The miniature is the actual market, running now.
STARTING THE MARKET…
Work becomes an order.
A task appears, nearby robots price it, and the lowest credible bid takes the job.
Even electricity has a price.
Charging slots are scarce, so they cost credits. 3.4 cr/kWh right now.
No dispatcher. No single point of failure.
A charger is about to fail. Prices spike, routes reroute, and the market absorbs it on its own.
The same floor, seen as data.
Congestion, prices, and profit are all measurable. Open the market desk for the full picture.
