Abstract: A system and method are described that provide for queueing robot operations in a warehouse environment based on workflow optimization instructions. In one example of the system/method of the present invention, a control system causes certain robots to queue proximate to one another to permit resources to be obtained, transported, deposited, etc. without the robots crashing into one another (or into other objects), or forming traffic jams. A robot may remain at an assigned queue position at least until another position assigned to the robot becomes available.

Abstract: This application provides a robot control method, a robot and a storage medium. According to the method, a current operating mode of the robot is determined, and then a control instruction corresponding to the operating mode is determined based on detection data obtained by a detection sensor arranged on a manipulator mechanism of the robot, so as to control the robot. In this way, the detection data obtaining function in various operating modes can be realized through one set of detection sensors, which not only can reduce the cost of materials for the robot, but also can save space in the robot for arrangement of sensors and wires.

Abstract: Pilot posture information indicating a posture of a pilot is input, and action control is executed on a bipedal robot capable of switching modes between a walk mode and a stand mode based on the pilot posture information. The above action control includes stand transition control, the stand transition control including calculating reference posture information indicating a reference posture of the bipedal robot based on initial posture information indicating an initial posture of the bipedal robot corresponding to an initial posture of the pilot and foot position information indicating current foot positions of the bipedal robot, and controlling a posture of the bipedal robot based on the pilot posture information and the calculated reference posture information when the modes are switched from the walk mode to the stand mode.

Abstract: Methods and enhanced apparatus used in such methods are described that a dispatched logistics operation for a deliverable item from a hold-at-location (HAL) logistics facility having a secured storage and using a modular autonomous bot apparatus assembly and a dispatch server. The bot apparatus assembly picks up and delivers the item from the HAL facility in response to a delivery dispatch command from the dispatch server. In response, the MAM of the bot verifies compatibility of modular components for the operation, controls receiving of the deliverable item from the secured storage at the HAL facility, then autonomously causes movement to the delivery destination. The MAM notifies the customer before delivery of the approaching delivery, authenticates delivery is to the authorized customer, provides access to the item within the bot apparatus assembly, monitors unloading of the item, then autonomously moves back to the HAL facility.
