Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a warehouse robot to store and fetch inventory materials. The method includes: instructing a material handling device to fetch a second inventory material located in the front row, and placing the second inventory material on a first tray; instructing the material handling device to fetch a first inventory material located in the back row, and placing the first inventory material on a second tray; and instructing the material handling device to return the second inventory material to the front row. By instructing the material handling device to fetch the inventory materials and storing the inventory materials in the trays, the inventory materials can be extracted from a designated shelf and stored in a warehouse, navigation is realized in a crowded warehouse filled with obstacles, and the inventory materials whose positions have been transferred can be processed.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a material handling method and device, a server and a handling robot. The material handling method provided by the present embodiment includes: acquiring position information and idle storage unit information of a robot; and allocating a second handling task to the robot according to the position information, the idle storage unit information and a position of a first target included in a first handling task; where one of the first handling task and the second handling task is a material fetching task, and the other is a returning task. Thus, a handling strategy can be set flexibly, and fetching materials while returning is implemented during a material handling process, the handling efficiency of the materials is improved effectively.
Abstract: A vertical support for a transport robot includes a column assembly and a driving assembly. The vertical support includes a fixed column frame and a movable column frame movably arranged on the fixed column frame. The driving assembly includes a traction assembly and a retractable assembly connected to the traction assembly. The traction assembly is connected to the carrying device and configured to drive a carrying device of the transport robot to move relative to the movable column frame. The traction assembly includes two sets of traction assemblies located at two opposed sides of the carrying device respectively, the retractable assembly is configured to drive the two sets of the traction assemblies to synchronously drive the carrying device to ascend or descend.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a material inventory counting method and apparatus, a warehousing robot, and a warehousing system. The material inventory counting method is applied to the warehousing robot. The method includes: capturing an inventory counting image of a target box through the warehousing robot; and determining an inventory count of a material in the target box according to the inventory counting image. According to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an inventory counting image of a target box is captured through a warehousing robot, and a count for a material in the target box is determined through image identification on the inventory counting image, to implement in-situ and automatic inventory counting for the material, without the need for cross-zone movement of the box, such that the efficiency of material inventory counting is greatly improved and the cost of inventory counting is lowered.
Abstract: A transportation control method includes: when receiving a target order task, a server controls a traction robot to connect to a truck loaded with a material loading container, to pull the truck to move to a first target material loading station corresponding to the target order task, to disconnect from the truck after the traction robot has pulled the truck to the first target material loading station; then determines a transporting action of the traction robot for the first target material loading station and a required quantity of material loading containers or empty containers corresponding to the transporting action, where the transporting action includes transporting the required quantity of material loading containers from the truck to the first target material loading station, and/or transporting the required quantity of empty containers from the first target material loading station to the truck; and controls the traction robot to perform the transporting action.
