Provided is a control method for drone-assisted maintenance, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method includes: determining a target workpiece and a storage location thereof in response to an assistance message obtained by a first terminal located at a construction location, wherein the assistance message is used to indicate the target workpiece absent in a maintenance operation; planning a flight path for a transport task according to the construction location and the storage location; and controlling a drone to transport the target workpiece to the construction location according to the flight path.

A computer system having processing circuitry configured to handle two or more operating parameters associated with a set of vehicles operating in a work site is provided. The processing circuitry obtains a first indication indicative of an adjustment to be performed to the two or more operating parameters associated with the set of vehicles. The processing circuitry triggers the adjustment indicated by the first indication to be applied to the two or more operating parameters.

The disclosure provides an intelligent horizontal transportation system for automatic loading or unloading at a container terminal. The system includes a plurality of autonomous transport robots (ATRs) and an ATR control system. The plurality of ATRs are configured to perform horizontal transportation tasks. The ATR control system is in real-time communication with the plurality of ATRs to manage and control the plurality of ATRs; the ATR control system is in real-time communication with a terminal management system, an automated yard crane, and an automated quay crane, so as to coordinate task scheduling between the automated yard cranes, automated quay cranes, and the plurality of ATRs. The ATR control system includes a task scheduling module, a dynamic path planning module, a standardized control interface module, a traffic management module, a lock station management module, a vehicle sequencing module, a charging scheduling module, a parking management module, and a remote driving module.

The objective of the present invention is to move appropriately along a set reference route. This route setting method includes: a step for acquiring information relating to a reference route, which is a route along which a moving body moves; a step for determining whether the moving body is positioned on the reference route; and a step for setting a return route, which is a route for arriving at a merging position on the reference route, if the moving body is not positioned on the reference route.

A recording medium stores a program for causing a computer to execute a process including: under a condition regarding articles, columns including article shelves, and aisles provided between the columns, and a moving body that has a placement space moves on the aisles, moves the aisles, and performs a first work of placing first articles on the moving body from the article shelves, and a second work of placing second articles placed on the moving body on the article shelves, executing, on a work plan in which the moving body performs the first work and the second work on the articles, either a first search of searching for the work plan so as to decrease a total moving distance in a direction or a second search of searching for the work plan so as to decrease the total moving distance between the columns, and dividing the work plan into subplans.

A robot includes a moving body including a body part, an information acquisition part, and a controller that controls the moving body. The moving body further includes a plurality of wheels disposed on both sides of the body part in a front-rear direction. The controller determines a first allowable acceleration that is an allowable acceleration of the moving body in a reference posture and a second allowable acceleration that is an allowable acceleration of the moving body in a current posture, compares the first allowable acceleration and the second allowable acceleration, and controls the moving body based on the posture of the moving body and a difference between the first allowable acceleration and the second allowable acceleration.

A method of operating a server is disclosed. The operation method of the disclosure, includes: identifying, by an product management module, a plurality of orders including a quantity of delivery item and a storage location of the delivery item; identifying, by a destination management module, a plurality of picking zones for loading each delivery item based on the storage location of the delivery item included in each of the plurality of orders; and selecting, by a task allocation module, at least one picking zone among the plurality of picking zones based on at least one of the quantity of delivery item matched to each of the plurality of picking zones, the number of picking stations included in each of the plurality of picking zones, and the location of the picking stations included in each of the plurality of picking zones.

A method and a system for controlling a movement of transport units inside a control area of an installation includes initially capturing and identifying a transport unit at a known position. The transport unit is subsequently moved and the positions of the transport units within the control area are continuously captured over time using a position capture device and are transmitted to a background system. On the basis of the initial position, the background system assigns the captured positions of the transport units to the captured identity of the relevant transport unit and maps the positions of the transport units, in particular of the identified transport unit, in the control area. This allows the movement to be controlled without the need for a separate marking of the transport unit for the position capture device.

A facility including a production line including an exit conveyor for providing finished products produced on the production line, an intermediary storage area where the finished products are stored within the facility after being removed from the exit conveyor, a loading dock having a plurality of dock doors to accommodate vehicles for loading the finished products after being removed from the intermediary storage area, and a transition area between and including the production line and the intermediary storage area. The transition area includes an AGV dedicated to moving within the transition area to remove the finished products from the exit conveyor of the production line and place them into the intermediary storage area. The AGV is positioned in alignment with the exit conveyer when the AGV is idle.

A facility including a loading dock having a plurality of dock doors to accommodate vehicles for loading the finished products, an AGV including a drive system and a rechargeable battery for powering the drive system to autonomously move throughout the facility, a control server in communication with the AGV to provide instructions to the AGV to move within the facility, and a charger located within the facility for charging the rechargeable battery when the AGV is idle. The AGV operates in an in-service condition in which the AGV is ready to receive and act on instructions from the control server and an out-of-service condition in which the at least one AGV is unavailable for acting on instructions. The AGV is idle in the in-service condition when the AGV has completed past instructions and is awaiting future instructions.
