In a method for charging an electric device by a service rendering system, a controller of the service rendering system receives an image that includes a label corresponding to the electric device, captured by an image sensor. The controller obtains a service point location included in the label and calculates a service point position of an electric charging input of the electric device using the service point location. The controller renders an electric charging service at the service point position of the electric charging input.

A robotic system is disclosed that include an articulated arm and a first perception system for inspecting an object, as well as a plurality of additional perception systems, each of which is arranged to be directed toward a common area in which an object may be positioned by the robotic arm such that a plurality of views within the common area may be obtained by the plurality of additional perception systems.

A moving position control system for a moving apparatus includes an embedded PC, a position control board, a servo driver, a servo motor, and a barcode scanner. The embedded PC sends a positioning instruction to the position control board, which processes the positioning instruction and then sends a signal to the servo driver to drive the servo motor. The barcode scanner collects absolute positions of the moving apparatus on a moving track thereof. The position control board, the servo driver, and the servo motor form a closed-loop control circuit that includes a position loop control circuit, a speed loop control circuit, and a current loop control circuit. Improved operational efficiency is achieved by locating the position loop control circuit at the position control board.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for assigning a digital model to a physical component of an automation system. An example method includes: consulting a physical component with a piece of link information referring to a digital model of the physical component in a digital twin of the physical component; and using the link information to determine the digital model to which the link information refers and assign said digital model to the physical component.

A drop perception system is disclosed that includes an open housing structure having an internal volume, an open top and an open bottom, and a plurality of perception units positioned to capture perception data within the internal volume at a plurality of locations between the open top and the open bottom of the open housing.

A robotic system is disclosed that include an articulated arm and a first perception system for inspecting an object, as well as a plurality of additional perception systems, each of which is arranged to be directed toward a common area in which an object may be positioned by the robotic arm such that a plurality of views within the common area may be obtained by the plurality of additional perception systems.

A processing system is disclosed for processing objects. The processing system includes a perception system for providing perception data regarding an object, and a primary transport system for providing transport of the object along a primary direction toward a processing location that is identified based on the perception data.

A checkout terminal, and method of using, having a goods receiving area for receiving goods, a goods recording area for recording the data of the goods, and a goods dispensing area for dispensing the goods. The checkout terminal further has a control unit configured for controlling the operation of the checkout terminal. The goods dispensing area has a first packing trough which is configured for temporarily collecting the goods. A goods transport means is configured for transporting the goods along a direction of transport form the goods receiving area via the goods recording area toward the first packing trough of the goods dispensing area. The goods recording area having a goods recording device having a scanner, which is configured for scanning a respective scannable identifier of the goods, located within a goods recording volume of the goods recording area and for providing a scanning result signal.
