    摘要: Robotic automated dispensing systems that include a dispensing cabinet, a location tracking device configured to transmit information identifying a current location of the dispensing cabinet, a drive unit, and one or more movement elements in dynamic connection with the drive unit. In a first mode, at least one of the one or more movement elements is engaged to move via a first force provided by the drive unit. In a second mode, at least one of the one or more movement elements is disengaged from the drive unit to move via a second force. Mobile automated dispensing systems and robotic delivery devices are also provided.

    摘要: A self-service apparatus having a three-layer system architecture includes an application-layer device, an intermediate-layer device, and bottom-layer peripheral devices. The application-layer device is configured to provide a user interface for self-service and control the entire self-service apparatus according to an interaction with the user to provide the user with required self-service, and comprises a first processor and a first memory. The first processor executes an application program stored in the first memory and communicates with the intermediate-layer device. The intermediate-layer device comprises a terminal control module which comprises a second processor and a second memory. The second processor communicates with the bottom-layer peripheral devices, and the second processor executes a control program stored in the second memory to control operations of the peripheral devices based on an instruction from the application-layer device. The peripheral devices do not communicate with the application-layer device directly.

    摘要: The present invention provides a dispenser interface, associated methods and systems, and dispensers employing the dispenser interface and associated systems and methods. An example embodiment provides a method of configuring a communication interface of a dispenser controller configured to control a dispenser for dispensing hygiene products or other products. The method comprises operatively connecting a communication controller to the communication interface of the dispenser controller; and transmitting, via the communication interface and from the communication controller and to the dispenser controller, configuration information, the configuration information comprising at least one of: a communication protocol, instructions indicating dispenser information to be communicated in association with the occurrence of at least one type of dispenser event, instructions associated with how to communicate dispenser information associated with at least one type of dispenser event to the communication controller, and a priority indicator associated with at least one type of dispenser event.
