The training process involves incremental steps. For this particular example, the training steps include:

1.Training a Route with Drop-Offs in Aisle 30 and Aisle 10

2.Training a Route with a Drop-Off in Aisle 20

3.Building The Routes

4.Verifying The Routes

This example assumes Stations identifi ed do not yet exist in the truck’s system, and Station Markers are not placed in the facility.
