    摘要: Systems and methods for swapping mobile robot batteries on battery charging stations are disclosed herein. An example system may comprise at least one mobile robot, wherein the mobile robot may be optionally coupled to a modular component, and wherein the mobile robot and the modular component may each have robot batteries configured to be detachably removed from the mobile robot and the modular component. An example system may also comprise at least one battery charging station for receiving robot or modular component batteries for charging, and also for providing charged batteries to mobile robots or modular components. Finally, the system may comprise a service provider and a network that may be used to manage data and handle interactions between the mobile robots and the battery charging stations.

    摘要: A method of forming a hot stamped, die quenched, and die trimmed part is provided. The method includes hot stamping and die quenching a blank with a quench die and forming a die quenched panel. The quench die includes at least one slow-cooling channel. The die quenched panel is die trimmed along the at least one localized soft zone that is adjacent a hard zone. The blank may be formed from a press hardenable steel (PHS), and the at least one soft zone may have a ferritic microstructure and the at least one hard zone may have a martensitic microstructure. The at least one localized soft zone may have a microhardness between about 200 HV and about 250 HV and the hard zone may have a microhardness between about 400 HV and about 500 HV.

    摘要: A vehicle component strength zone forming method is provided. The method includes identifying a condition of a blank via sensors at a furnace inlet. The method further includes outputting, by a controller, furnace command signals based on a predetermined thermal treatment schedule for the identified condition of the blank to heat a first blank portion to form a fully martensitic microstructure and heat a second blank portion to form a microstructure having one or more of ferrite, pearlite, and austenite. The method may further include outputting the furnace command signals based on furnace temperature variations detected by furnace sensors in communication with the controller. The method may further include outputting the furnace command signals based on one or more of a detected blank chemical composition, a detected type of blank coating, a detected blank thickness, and a detected blank material type.

    摘要: A system for charging electric vehicles that includes a rail structure, a mobile base unit, a battery charge station and a battery. The mobile base unit is supported by the rail structure. The mobile base unit includes a movable base connected to the rail structure and a drive motor configured to move the movable base along the rail structure. The movable base defines a first battery compartment. The battery charge station defines a second battery compartment. The battery is movable by the movable base between a first position in which the battery is received in the first battery compartment and electrically coupled to the mobile base unit to provide power to the drive motor, and a second position in which the battery is received in the second battery compartment and electrically coupled to the battery charge station to charge the battery.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining an authentic image of an assembly and a boundary label provided with the authentic image. The boundary label is associated with a selected region of the authentic image depicting a selected object. The method includes generating an augmented image based on the authentic image and an augmentation model employing one or more augmentation parameters, defining a model boundary label on a blank image at a region that correlates with the selected region of the authentic image, generating an augmented blank image based on the one or more augmentation parameters employed for the augmented image, identifying, as an augmented boundary label associated with augmented image, the model boundary label in the augmented blank image, and outputting an augmented image data, wherein the augmented image data incudes data indicative of the augmented image and of the augmented boundary label.
