Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control method for an autonomous mobile device. The control method includes obtaining a pose of a target point; determining motion control parameters based on the pose of the target point; and controlling, according to the motion control parameters, the autonomous mobile device to move along a motion trajectory. A path curvature of the motion trajectory includes an inverse proportional function of a distance from the autonomous mobile device to the target point. A coefficient of the inverse proportional function includes a term that is functionally related to a lateral offset between the autonomous mobile device and the target point, where the lateral offset is associated with an orientation of the target point.
Abstract: A swarm autonomy system and swarm autonomy method for organizing multiple industrial robots to carry out a number of manufacturing tasks comprises a swarm core and at least one swarm fleet, wherein, the swarm core is configured to manage the swarm autonomy system and generate a swarm plan; and the swarm fleet is configured to execute a manufacturing execution according to the swarm plan.
Abstract: A method for dynamically configuring tasks between a number of manufacturing robots is based on a mechanism for assigning roles for different manufacture requirements. The method includes activating from a library a plurality of roles based on a target manufacturing plan and selecting at least one candidate robot for each activated role based on a plurality of abilities required for each role. The method further assigns activated roles to at least one candidate robot and commands each robot to which one or more roles have been assigned to perform the behaviors corresponding to each activated role, the activated robot then reporting completion of task to their controller.
Abstract: A peer-to-peer interaction management system for optimizing flexible manufacturing comprising a plurality of peers and comprises rules for defining the data interaction, operational interaction, environmental interaction and safety interaction. The plurality of peers comprising a robot control server and a plurality of autonomous mobile robots. One peer can exchange data with another peer, the data can comprise planning data, operational data, monitor data, and safety data.
Abstract: A carrier for transporting goods includes a supporting mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a first detection component, and a controller. The supporting mechanism includes at least one entrance and connected to a mobile robot. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting driving member and a bearing part. The lifting driving member is arranged on the supporting mechanism, and the bearing part is arranged on the lifting driving member to be driven to be elevated or lowered by the lifting driving member. The first detection component is arranged on the bearing part and is located in front of the at least one entrance for detecting a position of the goods. The controller is arranged on the supporting mechanism and is respectively communicatively connected with the lifting driving member, the first detection component, and the mobile robot. A mobile lifting conveyor having the carrier is also provided.
