Abstract: A method, system, and wheeled base for navigating a robot for docking with a charger docking station (500). The robot (18) receives an initial pose (604) associated with a robot charger docking station (500) and a mating pose (602) associated with the robot charger docking station (500). The robot (18) first navigates from a location to an initial pose (604) using scan matching to a first map. The robot performs a second navigation (742) from the initial pose (604) to the mating pose (602) using scan matching to a second map, thereby causing an electrical charging port of the robot to mate with an electrical charging assembly of the robot charger docking station (500). Localization during charger docking may use a higher resolution map than when navigating to the docking station. Localizing against the robot charger docking station may be performed on a higher resolution map of the docking station alone.

Abstract: A method and system for navigation of a robot along a goal path and avoiding obstacles. The method includes receiving goal pose for one or more robots and determining a goal path for a first robot while avoiding moving and fixed obstacles of a received obstacle map. A first objective function is evaluated to select a preferred velocity from a generated set of candidate velocities, the selecting based on one or more weighted cost functions. A set of velocity obstacles created based on the poses of the one or more robots and the preferred velocity is used in evaluating a second objective function to determine the motion of the robot in the next time cycle. Creating the set of velocity objects includes converting the preferred velocity from a non-holonomic to a holonomic velocity.

Abstract: Se describe un método para poner en cola robots destinados a una ubicación elegida en un entorno que incluye determinar si un primer robot ocupa la ubicación elegida, y si se determina que el primer robot ocupa la ubicación elegida, determinar si un segundo robot, destinado a la ubicación elegida, ha entrado en una zona elegida predefinida, próxima a la ubicación elegida. Si el segundo robot ha entrado en la zona elegida predefinida, el método incluye hacer navegar el segundo robot hasta una primera ubicación de la cola, y hacer que el segundo robot espere en la primera ubicación elegida. El método también incluye hacer navegar el segundo robot a la ubicación elegida después de que el primer robot abandone la ubicación elegida.

Abstract: Se describe un sistema de carga eléctrica que incluye un de cargador eléctrico con una base de cargador acoplada a una fuente de energía eléctrica. Hay un primer miembro terminal macho que termina en un primer contacto eléctrico con al menos dos superficies externas curvas y una superficie plana. Hay un segundo miembro terminal macho que termina en un segundo contacto eléctrico con al menos dos superficies externas curvas y una superficie plana. Hay una cavidad formada entre el primer miembro terminal macho y el segundo miembro terminal macho que tiene una abertura entre el primero y segundo contactos eléctricos. La cavidad está definida por la superficie plana del primer miembro terminal macho y la superficie plana del segundo miembro terminal macho. La superficie plana del segundo miembro terminal macho tiene una porción de superficie ensanchada próxima a la abertura de la cavidad y en ángulo con respecto al segundo eje.

Abstract: Un método para realizar tareas de los artículos ubicados en un espacio utilizando un robot, los artículos que se ubican cerca de los marcadores fiduciales, cada marcador fiducial tiene una identificación fiducial. El método incluye recibir un pedido para realizar una tarea de al menos un artículo y determinar la identificación fiducial asociada con al menos un artículo. El método también incluye obtener, utilizando la identificación fiducial de al menos un artículo, un conjunto de coordenadas que representan una posición del marcador fiducial con la identificación fiducial determinada, en un sistema de coordenadas definido por el espacio. El método además incluye hacer navegar al robot hacia las coordenadas del marcador fiducial asociado con la identificación fiducial determinada.

Abstract: A method for performing tasks on items located in a space using a robot, the items being located proximate fiducial markers, each fiducial marker having a fiducial identification. The method includes receiving an order to perform a task on at least one item and determining the fiducial identification associated with the at least one item. The method also includes obtaining, using the fiducial identification of the at least one item, a set of coordinates representing a position of the fiducial marker with the determined fiducial identification, in a coordinate system defined by the space. The method further includes navigating the robot to the coordinates of the fiducial marker associated with said determined fiducial identification.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robot navigation management including a server configured to define a first zone and a second, adjacent zone within an environment, a threshold along a border between the first and second zones, and a waypoint associated with the threshold. One or more autonomous robots in communication with the server are configured to determine a route from the first zone to the second zone crossing the threshold, the route including a waypoint; and navigate the robot along the route from the first zone to the second zone, including traversing the waypoint in conjunction with crossing the threshold.
