摘要： Motion is coordinated between a robot and a mover in an independent cart system. A first mover for the independent cart system is located at an initial position, where the robot is mounted on the first mover. A motion trajectory command, defining motion of the robot and the first mover, is received at a motion controller. A mover command is generated for the first mover and a robot motion command is generated for the robot as a function of the motion trajectory command at the motion controller. The mover command is transmitted to a segment controller in a track segment on which the first mover is located, and the robot motion command is transmitted to a robot control system. Operation of the first mover is controlled with the segment controller in tandem with controlling operation of the robot with the robot control system responsive to the robot motion command.

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 robotic cleaner for removing material from a vessel, such as but not limited to a sumps, and storage tank, includes a chassis, elongated track members, and a cleaning head. A first elongated track member is on a first side of the chassis and a second elongated track member is on a second side of the chassis, and the elongated track members enable movement of the robotic cleaner along a surface. The cleaning head is supported by the chassis and is nested between the first and second elongated track members such that the first elongated track member and the second elongated track member overlap the cleaning head in a lateral direction. An inlet of the cleaning head may face a forward direction of the robotic cleaner.

摘要： An autonomous solar module installation platform can be used for solar module installation onto a solar tracker. The autonomous solar module installation platform can include an off-road capable base vehicle and a robotic arm, mounted on the off-road capable base vehicle, for the solar module installation onto the solar tracker.
The off-road capable base vehicle and the robotic arm can communicate with each other and cooperate their movements to proceed to the solar tracker and align with the solar tracker in order for the robotic arm to pick up and lift the solar module during an installation of the solar module onto the solar tracker.

摘要： According to one embodiment, a holding apparatus holds a moving body and changes a position of the moving body in a second direction perpendicular to a surface of a columnar body. The surface of the columnar body extends in the first direction. The moving body is movable along the first direction. The apparatus includes first and second holders separated from each other. The first holder includes first and second portions separated from each other, and a third portion. The second holder includes fourth and fifth portions separated from each other, and a sixth portion. The moving body is held by the first and second holders in a state in which the moving body is at a hold position. The hold position is where the moving body opposes the third and sixth portions and is between the first and second portions and between the fourth and fifth portions.

摘要： A bi-directional robotic crawler includes a first drive system having a first drive member, a second drive member, and a support member. The first drive member includes a first pair of wheels and the second drive member includes a second pair of wheels. A second drive system includes a third drive member and a fourth drive member. The third drive member includes a first drive element and the fourth drive member includes a second drive element. A linking member selectively pivots the third drive member and the fourth drive member relative to the support member. A motor is mounted to the first drive system. The motor selectively operates the first and second pairs of wheels to move the bi-directional robotic crawler along a first axis and the first and second drive elements to move the bi-directional robotic crawler along a second axis.

摘要： A robotic system comprising a master robotic system, and a first robotic system comprising a first mobile platform operable to move about a surface, and comprising a first manipulator. The robotic system can comprise a second robotic system comprising a second mobile platform operable to move about the surface, and comprising a second manipulator. A control module can be associated with the master robotic system and the first and second robotic systems, and can be operable in a paired control mode to facilitate paired control of the first and second robotic systems to move about the ground surface, and operable in an unpaired control mode to facilitate non-paired control of a selected one of the first or second robotic systems.

摘要： In one or more arrangements, a self-propelled liquid delivery vehicle is presented which has a frame assembly, drive members (e.g. a pair of track assemblies), a power system, and a liquid delivery system. In one arrangement, the pair of track assemblies are configured to facilitate propulsion of the self-propelled liquid vehicle when on land. In one arrangement, the pair of track assemblies are configured to facilitate floating of the self-propelled liquid delivery vehicle when in a liquid. In one arrangement, the drive members (e.g. a pair of track assemblies) are configured to move between an extended position and a retracted position. In one arrangement, an extension assembly is configured to move the drive members between an extended position and a retracted position.
