A second acquisition processing unit acquires AGV status information indicating whether the automatic traveling device is transporting the transport target. A determination processing unit determines whether the automatic traveling device is capable of traveling through the position corresponding to the tag on the basis of the tag status information and the AGV status information. A generation processing unit generates a travel route of the automatic traveling device on the basis of a determination result of the determination processing unit.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOVABLE ROBOT TO ADJUST POSE OF GOODS RACK

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for a movable robot to adjust the pose of a goods rack. A particular embodiment of the method comprises: acquiring a goods rack identifier image of a target goods rack; identifying a pose identifier of the target goods rack from the goods rack identifier image, and determining the current pose of the target goods rack based thereon; in response to the difference between the current pose of the target goods rack and a preset pose being greater than a preset deviation threshold value, determining that the target goods rack has shifted; generating a transport path on the basis of the difference between the current pose of the target goods rack and the preset pose; and sending the transport path to a movable robot, such that the movable robot adjusts the current pose of the target goods rack.

Safeguarded Tele-Operation for Autonomous Driving

A system may receive a video stream from a camera of a vehicle in a transportation network. The system may also receive an input indicating an acceleration and a steering angle of a simulated lead vehicle. The system may determine a pose of the simulated vehicle relative to a home pose based on the acceleration input and the steering input, and display an overlay of a representation of the simulated vehicle in the video stream at pixel coordinates based on the pose. The system may determine, from the pixel coordinates, spatial coordinates of the simulated vehicle in the transportation network, wherein the spatial coordinates are relative to at least one of the transportation network or the camera. The system may transmit the spatial coordinates to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to follow a path based on the spatial coordinates.

A method of operating a delivery robot service provider that manages a delivery robot, the method may include: generating delivery information in response to a delivery request from a user; assigning a delivery robot that is to perform the delivery request; transmitting the delivery information to the delivery robot; checking whether the delivery robot arrives at a transportation infrastructure located on a delivery route based on delivery status information transmitted from the delivery robot; and transmitting signal request information associated with the transportation infrastructure to a traffic information service provider that manages the transportation infrastructure to allow the delivery robot to use the transportation infrastructure.

TRANSPORT ROBOT

A transfer robot includes: a platform configured to allow a transport object to be mounted on the platform; a stand that extends upward from the platform; and a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with an external device using radio waves in a predetermined frequency band. The wireless communication unit includes a first wireless communication antenna and a second wireless communication antenna disposed so as to receive radio waves at least from an outer side in a direction parallel to the platform. The first wireless communication antenna and the second wireless communication antenna are disposed on opposite end surface sides of the platform with a center portion of the platform interposed between each other in the direction parallel to the platform.

LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT METHOD

Disclosed are a logistics management system and a logistics management method. The logistics management system includes: an order processing system receiving an order request for each order; a box making system capable of making order boxes for a plurality of reference standards, wherein one reference standard is different from another reference standard in at least one among size and intensity; and a central control device capable of selecting any one among the plurality of reference standards based on the order request, and transmitting a box making command indicating the selected reference standard to the box making system, wherein the box making system makes an order box with the selected reference standard in response to the box making command and supplies the order box to a box supply zone.

OPERATION SCHEDULE PLANNING SYSTEM, OPERATION SCHEDULE PLANNING APPARATUS, AND OPERATION SCHEDULE PLANNING METHOD
20250130583 · 2025-04-24 · ·

In an operation schedule planning system, an operation specifying unit specifies an operation of an obstacle. A changing unit changes an order of a plurality of operation elements included in an operation schedule of a mobile object based on the operation of the obstacle. The obstacle means an object that may hinder the operation of the mobile object. The mobile object is an autonomously movable apparatus or an apparatus movable by operation of an operator, and may be, for example, a transport apparatus or a robot that transports an article or the like. The operation of the obstacle may be an operation accompanied by movement or an operation not accompanied by movement.

MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL DEVICE, MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL SYSTEM, AUTOMATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL METHOD

The mobile object control device includes: a prescribed path information acquisition unit which acquires prescribed path information; an obstacle information acquisition unit which acquires obstacle information; a position orientation information acquisition unit which acquires position orientation information; and a traveling path determination unit which judges whether or not a vehicle is traveling on a prescribed path, and judges whether or not there is a possibility that the vehicle collides with an obstacle, and then, if it is judged that there is the possibility of the collision, determines whether or not to cause the vehicle to travel on a prescribed-path-outside traveling path.
