A Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is disclosed herein which is compact and transportable in various deployments. The Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is advantageous and useful as it has hingedly connected loading and support arms attached to a main lifter body. The supporting arms are spring loaded allowing the Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory to stably engage with irregular shaped objects such as barge lid or a skid steer loader and allows for flexible engagement and balanced lifting operations.

A charging vehicle for a stack storage assembly includes a chassis; a first impeller assembly structured and arranged to move the chassis in a first direction; a second impeller assembly structured and arranged to move the chassis in a second direction transverse to the first direction; and a hoisting device comprising a hoisting drive acting perpendicularly to the first direction and to the second direction. The hoisting device has a hoisting platform movable, with the hoisting drive, upwardly in the direction of gravity from an initial position into a lifted position. The hoisting drive acts downwardly on the second impeller assembly in the direction of gravity and downwardly moves the second impeller assembly beyond the first impeller assembly.

The invention provides an autonomous delivery and storage system comprising a mobile robot, referred to as a porch bot, and a support vehicle, the mother bot. The porch bot features a modular shelved storage shell for transporting various products, including temperature-sensitive goods, with integrated systems for precise temperature control. It utilizes omni-wheels for versatile mobility, advanced navigation systems for real-time route optimization, and a power-sharing capability for energy efficiency. The mother bot assists with the loading, unloading, and transport of porch bots, featuring an adjustable height lift and additional temperature support systems. The system's integrated navigation, communication, and energy management technologies allow for seamless operation in diverse environments, making it suitable for both residential and commercial deliveries. This invention addresses the challenges of modern logistics by improving delivery efficiency, maintaining product integrity, and reducing operational costs through automation and advanced environmental control.

The present invention provides an automated product transport and storage system designed to enhance efficiency, precision, and safety in logistics and delivery operations. The system includes automated bots, such as porch bots, railed fork bots, and railed crane bots, which perform tasks like loading, unloading, and positioning products within transport vehicles. These bots reduce the reliance on manual labor, mitigate the risk of injuries, and improve productivity by operating autonomously or semi-autonomously in confined or complex environments, such as urban and suburban delivery routes. The system is equipped with advanced control systems, GPS tracking, and obstacle detection, enabling precise navigation and real-time responsiveness. Versatile and adaptable, the system can be used across various industries, from food distribution to industrial supply chains, while reducing infrastructure requirements and contributing to energy efficiency. This invention represents a significant advancement in automated logistics and product handling.

A method and apparatus for forklift pickup, a computer device, and a storage medium are provided in the disclosure. The method includes the following. Observational data of a truck parking area is obtained by observing the truck parking area. Point cloud data of at least one truck is obtained in the observational data, and point cloud data of each of the at least one carrier is obtained in the point cloud data of the at least one truck. A relative pose of each of at least one carrier is determined based on the point cloud data of each of the at least one carrier. A pickup priority is determined based on the point cloud data of each of the at least one carrier. A forklift is controlled to perform pickup according to the relative pose of each of the at least one carrier and the pickup priority.

A lifting arrangement for a construction machine is provided which includes a main arm (3) which is provided with a pivot connector (4). The pivot connector (4) is pivotably supported on a main arm support means (6). The main arm support means (6) is moveable in a direction which includes at least a component in the front-rear direction with respect to a frame arrangement of a construction machine to which the lifting arrangement can be applied. Based on a control of a main arm actuating element (11) and an auxiliary actuating element (21), a path of an equipment connector (5) upon moving said main arm (3) between a lowered position and a lifted position can be achieved which follows a predetermined path.
