  • Publication number: 20240198389
    Abstract: A goods sorting system includes at least one layer of operation platform, a control server, and at least one first robot operating on the operation platform. Each first robot includes at least two delivery mechanisms. Each operation platform includes at least two delivery container layers corresponding to the delivery mechanisms. Each delivery container layer includes at least one delivery container. The control server determines a target delivery container, a target delivery container layer, and a target operation platform, based on information of goods to be sorted; dispatches one first robot as a target first robot and determines one delivery mechanism as a target delivery mechanism, based on the target delivery container layer and the target operation platform; and controls the target delivery mechanism to obtain the goods to be sorted. The first robot delivers the goods to be sorted in the target delivery mechanism into the target delivery container.

  • Publication number: 20230382645
    Abstract: An item sorting system includes a control server, a first robot, and a second robot, which respectively communicate with the control server and run in a storage area of the item sorting system. The storage area is deployed with at least one item-collecting container, each including at least two sub-compartments. The control server determines a target sub-compartment of the item-collecting container, and sends a sorting instruction to the first robot. The control server sends a transport instruction to the second robot when the target sub-compartment is a first sub-compartment of a first item-collecting container and items accommodated in the first sub-compartment reach a first preset threshold. The first robot delivers an item to the first sub-compartment in response to the sorting instruction. The second robot travels to a position of the first item-collecting container and transports the first item-collecting container to a packaging station in response to the transport instruction.
