Abstract: Systems and methods for presorting and executing robot-assisted putaway tasks in a navigational space include assigning each of a plurality of item storage arrays to one of a plurality of zones defined within the navigational space, scanning an item identifier of at least one of a plurality of unsorted items to be stored at locations throughout the warehouse, retrieving, in response to receiving identifying information corresponding to the at least one scanned unsorted item, item data describing a storage location for putaway within the warehouse of each of the at least one scanned items, determining, from the storage location, a corresponding one of the plurality of zones of the warehouse in which the storage location is located, and placing each scanned unsorted item into an interconnected container of one of the item storage arrays assigned to the corresponding one of the zones.

Abstract: A system for determining pose of a lidar sensor in an environment in order to calibrate the lidar sensor. The system includes at least two calibration boards, each having a first edge and a second edge. There is a controller coupled to the lidar sensor to cause the lidar sensor to direct a lidar scan at the calibration boards. The controller causes the lidar sensor to receive a reflection of the lidar scan from the calibration boards and determine locations of a first crossing point on the first edge and a second crossing point on the second edge of the calibration boards. The controller determines a reference plane defined by the first and second crossing points of each of the calibration boards, performs a plane transform of the reference frame to obtain a lidar sensor plane and determine from the lidar sensor plane a pose of the lidar sensor.

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.

Abstract: An electrical charging system for charging an autonomous robot powered by a re-chargeable battery and having a first charging member. The charging station includes a second charging member configured to receive the first charging member on the autonomous robot when the autonomous robot is docked with the charging station for charging the re-chargeable battery. There is a power supply configured to charge the re-chargeable battery of the robot and a sensor configured to measure an amount of charge transferred from the power supply to the robot. There is a processor configured to determine from the amount of charge transferred from the power supply to the robot measured by the sensor, a state of charge (SOC) of the autonomous robot. There is also a communications device configured to transmit to the robot the SOC of the robot while docked at the charging station.

Abstract: Robot charging dock includes a charge connector configured to mate with a charging port of a mobile robot. There is a charge connector frame having a front surface on which the charge connector is mounted. The front surface has a first side edge and a second side edge. There is a front cover disposed over the charge connector frame which has an aperture through which the charge connector protrudes. At least a portion of the front cover is spaced from the front surface of the charge connector frame, defining an internal region. There is an opening to the internal region formed along at least a portion of a perimeter of the aperture and there is a light source disposed in the internal region. The light source is directed toward the opening to allow the light source to illuminate charge connector.

Abstract: A method for rolling shutter compensation for a camera sensor mounted on a moving vehicle includes estimating, based on a plurality of images of an object, a speed and a direction of movement of the vehicle; acquiring an additional image of the object having four corners; estimating a location of each of the four corners of the object in an image plane defined by the additional image; determining a corrected location in 3D space for each of the four corners of the object; determining a first compensated location for each of the four corners of the object in the image plane; determining a second compensated location for each of the four corners of the object in the image plane; and determining a difference between the first compensated locations of the four corners of the object and the second compensated locations of the four corners of the object.

Abstract: A method for executing orders assigned to a plurality of robots operating in a warehouse, including receiving an order with a plurality of items, each item associated with an item location. The method includes defining a plurality of regions and identifying the regions which include at least one item location associated with the order received by the robot. The method also includes determining, from the regions identified, which regions which include at least one operator and assessing criteria relating to a current location of the robot and to the item locations associated with the regions having at least one operator. The method further includes selecting an item location to which the robot is to navigate from a current location based on an assessment of criteria relating to the current location of the robot and to the item locations associated with the regions in which are located at least one operator.

Abstract: A method for customer assisted robot picking includes navigating a robot to a pose location within a retail space in proximity to an item to be picked, the retail space having items for purchase by customers, the robot identifying, by a sensor in communication with the robot, a customer located within a zone proximate the robot, communicating to the customer information identifying the item to be picked, detecting presentation of the item by the customer for identification, and updating customer performance data stored in a customer account to include data corresponding to picking of the item by the customer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for contextually mapping zones within a space for regulating robotic navigation within the space include defining, by at least one fiducial marker positioned within the space, a zone within the space, associating a rule with the zone, the rule at least partially dictating operation of one or more robots within the zone, and operating the one or more robots within the zone consistent with the rule.
