Abstract: A robot includes a housing, at least one manipulator, a control system for controlling the manipulator, a safety volume enclosed at least by a surface set including at least one boundary surface, a boundary sensor system including at least one photoelectric sensor, and a mobile base. The safety volume is enclosed by at least one portion of the housing and the surface set. The housing includes at least one opening, wherein each boundary surface is associated with an opening. The boundary sensor system monitors at least one boundary surface and is configured to sense an object intersecting with at least one boundary surface. The control system includes a safety supervision system and a non-redundant control system. In a first state, the safety supervision system decelerates an operation of the manipulator if the boundary sensor system senses an object intersecting with at least one monitored boundary surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a robot (2) configured to pick up and transport items; wherein the robot (2) comprises a pick up unit (10), wherein the pick up unit (10) comprises a pick up device (110) configured to pick up and release items, wherein the robot (2) is configured to move the pick up device (110) along a first direction, rotate the pick up device (110) around a first axis, and extend and retract the pick up device (110) along a second direction different from the first direction; wherein the robot (2) further comprises a shelf unit (8) configured to temporarily store items, wherein the shelf unit (8) comprises a rotatable portion (80) and a support structure (84), wherein the rotatable portion (80) is rotatable with respect to the support structure (84). The present invention also relates to a use of the robot and to a corresponding method.
