    摘要: Self-alignment systems for stackable batteries are disclosed herein. An example apparatus can include a lid and a container that is configured to receive and retain a battery, the lid and container being configured to enclose the battery, a first alignment mechanism positioned on a surface of the lid or the container, the first alignment mechanism having a first locking member that engages with an alignment receiver of another stackable battery assembly that is stacked with the stackable battery assembly, and an electrical interface in electrical communication with the battery, the electrical interface allowing the battery to be charged or discharged by an associated device.

    摘要: A locking system for retractable and removable bins, and methods of use thereof, are provided. The locking system includes a retractable latch disposed within a carrier sized and shaped to receive one or more delivery bins. The locking system further includes a first retention feature disposed on the bin and configured to receive the latch in a first locked configuration where horizontal and vertical movement of the bin relative to the latch is prohibited. Additionally, the locking system includes a second retention feature disposed on the bin distal to the first retention feature and configured to receive the latch in a second locked configuration. The second retention feature has an opening such that, in the second locked configuration, vertical movement of the bin relative to the latch is permitted to thereby remove the bin from the latch through the opening.

    摘要: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for determining preferred battery capacities. In an example method, a first set of data associated with scooter usage in a geographic area may be received. A first number of battery packs and a second number of battery packs for servicing the geographic area may be determined based at least on the first set of data, where the first number of battery packs has a first power capacity and the second number of battery packs has a second power capacity. A first cost associated with the first number of battery packs and a second cost associated with the second number of battery packs may be determined via a simulation model. The first cost may be determined to be lower than the second cost, and the first number of battery packs having the first power capacity may be selected to service the geographic area.

    摘要: A method of inspecting stamped blanks on a stamping line includes identifying at least one target defect location for a given stamped blank configuration where a unique defect type is associated with each of the at least one target defect locations. One or more images of each of the least one identified target defect locations on blanks stamped per the given stamped blank configuration are acquired with one or more cameras assigned to each of the identified target defect locations. The method includes analyzing the one or more images of each of the least one identified target defect locations and detecting if the unique defect type associated with each of the at least one target defect locations is present. Also, each unique defect type is identified with a corresponding unique defect identification algorithm.

    摘要: A mapping system for an environment includes an image sensor configured to generate image data of the environment. The mapping system includes a fixed tag including position indicia, where the position indicia identifies a predefined position coordinate of the fixed tag. The mapping system includes an entity tag including entity indicia, where the entity indicia identifies an entity associated with the entity tag. The mapping system includes a controller configured to determine a position coordinate of the entity tag based on the image data, where the image data includes the position indicia and the entity indicia.

    摘要: Zone-based unmanned aerial vehicle landing systems and methods are provided herein. An example method includes establishing a plurality of operational zones, each of the plurality of operational zones being associated with a range of altitudes, guiding an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) through each of a plurality of operational zones to land the UAV on a target location using sensors, wherein the sensors are configured to sense a distance between the UAV to the target location, further wherein portions of the sensors are configured for use at different altitudes, and determining an error for the UAV during landing, wherein the UAV retreats to a higher altitude operational zone when the error is determined.
