摘要： A conveyor belt lifting mechanism which includes an L-shaped arm, a telescopic arm, and a supporting shaft and an online operation and maintenance robot for a pipe belt conveyor are provided. One end of the L-shaped arm is rotatable, an axial direction of a rotating shaft is parallel to a conveying direction of a conveyor belt, the telescopic arm is slidably connected to the other end of the L-shaped arm, and the telescopic arm extends and retracts in an extension direction of the L-shaped arm. A universal rotary driving portion is connected to an end of the telescopic arm, the supporting shaft is fixed to an output end of the universal rotary driving portion, and two supporting rollers are arranged on the supporting shaft. An included angle between rotating shafts of the two supporting rollers is the same as that between two adjacent idlers in the pipe belt conveyor.

摘要： Embodiments provide shelves, bracket systems, automated picker robots, totes, and other features that may be used with delivery vehicle configurations that have automated cargo areas. A delivery vehicle may include a picking robot that selectively retrieves packages for delivery without requiring substantial human intervention for locating those packages. The cargo area of the delivery vehicle may further comprise a plurality of customizable shelving units that generate custom-sized shelves for packages. The shelves may include a plurality of individually movable shelf brackets having retaining members that pivot between an extended and retracted position to hold the package in place and to enable the picking robot to retrieve the package from the shelf. Another embodiment provides for a tote having a drive mechanism to hold letters so that a letter may be automatically retrieved from the cargo arear and provided at a delivery location.

摘要： A production system includes a conveyance device, a robot, a movement device, a sensor acquiring position information regarding an article conveyed by the conveyance device, a calculation unit calculating a velocity vector for the article conveyed by the conveyance device based on the position information acquired by the sensor, and a control unit that, when the direction of movement of the article conveyed by the conveyance device and the direction of movement of the robot moved by the movement device differ, controls a velocity vector for the robot moved by the movement device and a velocity vector for the position of an end effector of the robot so that the sum of the velocity vector for the robot moved by the movement device and the velocity vector for the position of the end effector of the robot matches the velocity vector of the article conveyed by the conveyance device.

摘要： A method for delivering materials includes: at a loading system located within a sanitary zone at the facility, accessing a materials manifest specifying compliant materials associated with the manufacturing operation; in response to identifying compliant materials at the loading system corresponding to the materials manifest, assigning the compliant materials a delivery location within the facility and a baseline material compliance score; triggering a loading system to load the compliant materials onto an autonomous cart; triggering the autonomous cart to maneuver the compliant materials from a first zone to the delivery location within a second zone at the facility; calculating a material compliance score of the tray based on the locations traversed by the autonomous cart; and, in response to the material compliance score exceeding a threshold score, triggering the autonomous cart to maintain an offset distance from an operator at the delivery location.

摘要： Systems and techniques for a sensor carrier, and intelligent track infrastructure for the navigation and operation of the sensor carrier are described. The sensor carrier is an autonomous robot navigating a track. The carrier holds cameras and other sensors to receive horticultural images and telemetry for plants in a grow operation. The carrier reads embedded signals in the track including Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) tags, embedded positioning magnets, and drilled hole patterns for a beam breaking system to determine navigation and operation. For tracks placed at sharp angles, a transfer station with wall guards to prevent the carrier from falling enable safe transfers from different track segments. Additional features include an emergency stop (e-stop) switch and power management for autonomous sensor carriers.
