  • Patent number: 12275153
    Abstract: Disclosed is a control method for delivery robots, wherein a distribution area has a preset home point. The control method includes: identifying a second delivery robot that obstructs a first delivery robot, wherein the first delivery robot is in a working state of heading to one or more target positions, and the second delivery robot is in an idle state; determining a distance between the second delivery robot and the home point; and controlling the second delivery robot to avoid the first delivery robot according to the distance between the second delivery robot and the home point. In view of the situation that an idle delivery robot may obstruct a delivery robot performing a task, the disclosure proposes an avoidance judgment logic to control the idle delivery robot to avoid, thereby improving distribution efficiency and preventing congestion.

  • Publication number: 20240102531
    Abstract: Disclosed are a floating tray mechanism and a robot. The floating tray mechanism includes a tray and a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket support the tray; the floating tray mechanism further comprises a floating contacting portion and a pulling rebounding portion, the floating contacting portion is provided on one of the tray and the mounting bracket, and the tray is movably supported on the mounting bracket, the pulling rebounding portion is configured to be able to pull the tray back to an initial position of translation when the tray moves relative to the mounting bracket. In the present application, the tray will have a damping relative stroke and a recovery relative stroke relative to the robot when a robot suddenly stops or suddenly speeds up, which greatly reduces the inertial motion of the goods, and thus the fluid goods will not spill out of the tray.
