  • Publication number: 20250060748
    Abstract: A computing device may generate a command for performing inventory management of a storage site based on inventory management data. The computing device may cause the inventory aerial robot to perform an inventory management trip based on the command. The inventory management trip may include receiving an input that includes coordinates of a plurality of target locations in the storage site, departing from a base station, navigating through the storage site to the plurality of target locations, capturing an image associated with an inventory item location at the one of the target locations, and returning to the base station. The computing device may perform an analysis of the image captured by the inventory aerial robot. The base station may perform swapping of a battery pack of the inventory aerial robot at the base station to prepare the inventory aerial robot for another inventory management trip.

  • Patent number: 12147244
    Abstract: A robot includes an image sensor that captures the environment of a storage site. The robot visually recognizes regularly shaped structures to navigate through the storage site using various object detection and image segmentation techniques. In response to receiving a target location in the storage site, the robot moves to the target location along a path. The robot receives the images as the robot moves along the path. The robot analyzes the images captured by the image sensor to determine the current location of the robot in the path by tracking a number of regularly shaped structures in the storage site passed by the robot. The regularly shaped structures may be racks, horizontal bars of the racks, and vertical bars of the racks. The robot can identify the target location by counting the number of rows and columns that the robot has passed.
