    摘要: The presently disclosed invention provides an outer rotor brushless direct current motor that includes a tire integrated as part of the outer rotor, and is thus configured as a direct drive wheel, such as may be used on a mobile robot. The drive wheel includes a cylindrical outer rotor having a plurality of poles positioned on an inner surface, a stationary stator spaced inwardly from the rotor and defining a magnetic clearance gap between the plurality of poles of the rotor and a plurality of electromagnets positioned on an outer circumference of the stator, and a stationary central shaft. The stator is mounted to the central shaft and the rotor is configured for rotation about the stator.

    摘要: A system and method for managing supply chain inventory which includes a product model to direct inventory management operations such as piece picking and restocking. The system includes a scanner configured to measure the dimensions and weight of a product, and to obtain a plurality of images of the product. The system further includes a computing device having at least one processor and a memory, and configured to use the measured weight and dimensions, and the plurality of images, to determine any of a shape of the outer surface of the product, a center of gravity of the product, and a three dimensional representation of a shape of a configuration of the product which may be included in the product model. Configurations can include single product, packaged product, and bundled configurations. The product model may be stored in memory or on a remote database for future use.

    摘要: Bin retrieval robots configured to pick or put-away bins within a logistics facility and to transport one or more picked bins. Methods and systems for autonomous picking or put-away of bins within a logistics facility that include the bin retrieval robot(s) are also disclosed. The systems include a remote server and at least one bin retrieval robot, wherein the remote server is configured to communicate with the bin retrieval robot(s) to send and receive picking data, and the bin retrieval robot(s) are configured to autonomously navigate and position within the logistics facility.
