A travel route creation system which creates a travel route for a personal mobility vehicle, the system including a controller configured to create the travel route in which an entering angle to a bump or a slope is set within an angle range of 45? and more based on map data indicating the bump or the slope which the personal mobility vehicle can travel over, when creating the travel route for the personal mobility vehicle to pass the bump or the slope.

A waste collection system includes a movable waste box to automatically travel by using a sensor group including cameras, a sonar, a millimeter wave radar, and a LiDAR, and a supervision apparatus to manage the movable waste box. The movable waste box autonomously moves by following path information indicating a path. The movable waste box includes a waste box to accept waste a person who is present partway on a path has. The supervision apparatus includes a path information generating unit to generate the path information and to transmit the path information to the movable waste box.

A method for operating an autonomous mobile green space processing robot, wherein the green space processing robot includes a drive system for propulsion of the green space processing robot. The method includes: a) monitoring whether a sticking presumption criterion is met, wherein the sticking presumption criterion is characteristic of suspected sticking of the green space processing robot; b) if the sticking presumption criterion is met, operating the drive system for a movement change of the green space processing robot and monitoring whether a sticking confirmation criterion is met, wherein the sticking confirmation criterion is that the movement change does not occur; and c) if the sticking confirmation criterion is met, initiating a sticking countermeasure of the green space processing robot.

A method is disclosed for improving a mobile robot that is configured to perform a task in an environment using an operating procedure. Data is received that was recorded by the mobile robot using one or more sensors as the mobile robot navigates the environment to perform the task. A database and/or a model associated with the environment is updated to incorporate the recorded data. The operating procedure of the mobile robot can be modified, based on the database and/or the model, to generate a modified operating procedure for performing the task in the environment that improves a performance of the mobile robot. Additionally, a recommendation for improving the performance of the mobile robot when performing the task in the environment can be determined, based on the database and/or the model, and displayed to a user for consideration.

A cleaning robot escape method, a cleaning robot escape apparatus, a computer readable storage medium, and an electronic device. The method comprises: when a cleaning robot cleans in a first surface medium region, recording a cleaned path and generating a region map; when the cleaning robot encounters an obstacle and turns the direction, in response to a surface medium change signal triggered by a surface medium sensor, upon detecting a second surface medium region, detecting whether the cleaned path of the cleaning robot is a path along a wall; and if the cleaned path of the cleaning robot is the path along the wall, controlling the cleaning robot to enter a special escape mode.

An intelligent mobile device and a control method therefore are described. The method includes: acquiring, when the intelligent mobile apparatus is trap, first ground medium attribute information of a trapping region, where the first ground medium attribute information includes ground medium attribute information of the trapping region; and controlling, if the first ground medium attribute information matches target ground medium attribute information, the intelligent mobile apparatus to leave the trapping region and re-enter the trapping region in a direction different from a direction in which the intelligent mobile apparatus enters the trapping region.

An automated storage and retrieval system includes a storage grid for storage of storage containers and a delivery system for transport of said storage containers between a delivery port of the storage grid and an access point of the delivery system. The access point is adapted for handling of items held in the storage containers by a robotic operator or human operator. The delivery system includes a delivery rail system including at least a first set of parallel rails arranged in a horizontal plane (P1) and extending in a first direction (X), and at least a second set of parallel rails arranged in the horizontal plane (P1) and extending in a second direction (Y) which is orthogonal to the first direction (X), the first and second sets of rails together defining a delivery grid of delivery grid cells, the access point, and a remotely operated delivery vehicle comprising a motorized vehicle body and a container carrier provided above the motorized vehicle body for carrying a storage container of the storage containers. The delivery vehicle is moveable on the delivery grid of the delivery rail system. The delivery grid provides one or more delivery grid cells for the remotely operated delivery vehicle at the access point as well as a plurality of delivery grid cells adjacent the one or more delivery grid cells of the access point, such that there is more than one path to and/or from the access point for the remotely operated delivery vehicle via the plurality of delivery grid cells. The remotely operated delivery vehicle is arranged to transport the storage container from the delivery port of the storage grid across the delivery grid to the access point and return the storage container to the delivery port for storage within the storage grid. The access point is provided in a container accessing station, said station being arranged for separating the robotic or human operator from the delivery rail system and the remotely operated delivery vehicle. The container accessing station comprises a cabinet comprising walls and a top cover supported thereon, wherein the items held in the storage container carried by a remotely operated delivery vehicle at the access point is reachable through an opening in the top cover.

The present disclosure provides an autonomous mobile device and its obstacle overcoming method and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: controlling the autonomous mobile device to move in a predetermined obstacle overcoming mode, and then controlling the autonomous mobile device to continue moving. Here moving in a predetermined obstacle overcoming mode includes: controlling the autonomous mobile device to retreat backwardly from a current location for a first distance; applying braking to a second driving mechanism, and controlling a first driving mechanism to rotate forwardly for a first angle around the second driving mechanism; securing the first driving mechanism, and controlling the second driving mechanism to rotate forwardly for a second angle around the first driving mechanism. As such, by utilizing alternate rotation movements of the two driving mechanisms, the autonomous mobile device can move onto a traversable type obstacle or move across the traversable type obstacle.
