Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for transporting workcells. In one aspect, a system includes a first fleet of AGVs that each include electro-mechanical interface that is adapted to (i) connect to or lift multiple different types of workcells and (ii) provide charging power to or receive charging power from multiple different types of workcells. A second fleet of multiple different types of workcells are each adapted to perform one or more particular tasks. A control system is configured to identify a set of tasks to be performed by the second fleet of workcells and, for each task, select a workcell to perform the task, select an AGV to transport the selected workcell to a location at which the task is to be performed, and provide, to the selected AGV, instructions that cause the selected AGV to transport the selected workcell to the location at which the task is to be performed.

Abstract: A system includes a cutting sub-system arranged for cutting a box into a first half and a second half and including at least one pair of cutting elements, a dunnage gripper sub-system arranged downstream of the cutting sub-system and including a dunnage gripper configured to selectively grip and release a portion of the box, and a robotic system including at least a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm. The first robotic arm includes a plurality of grippers configured to selectively grip and release items contained in the box. The second robotic arm includes a plurality of grippers configured to selectively position the items into a tote positioned at a second predetermined location.

Abstract: Techniques of implementing automated secure disposal of hardware components in computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data representing a command instructing removal of a hardware component from a server in a datacenter upon verification. In response to receiving the maintenance command, the method includes autonomously navigating from a current location to the destination location corresponding to the server, verifying an identity of the hardware component at the destination location, and removing the hardware component from the server. The method further includes upon successful removal of the hardware component, generating and transmitting telemetry data indicating verification of the hardware component at the destination location and successful removal of the verified hardware component from the server.
