A control device for a moving body according to the present disclosure is a control device for a moving body capable of recognizing and supporting a cargo handling device on which a package is placed and moving while estimating a self-location, and the control device is configured to, when causing the moving body to align and arrange multiple cargo handling devices at an arrangement location, acquire a position of a previous cargo handling device placed in advance at the arrangement location and control the moving body to place a next cargo handling device at a position determined based on the acquired position of the previous cargo handling device. Accordingly, it is possible to align and arrange multiple cargo handling devices at an arrangement location so that a gap is as small as possible by using a moving body capable of moving while estimating a self-location.

A method performed by a server configured to communicate with a plurality of robots, can include forming a queue of the plurality of robots, assigning a task to at least one of the plurality of robots within the queue, releasing a queue mode of the task-assigned robot when the task-assigned robot departs from a queue of the plurality of robots, and shifting at least one or more robots among the plurality of robots within the queue forward by checking an occupancy rate for a forward part of the queue, in response to the departure of the task-assigned robot from the queue.

A traffic control system for mining trucks and a method for same. The traffic control system (100) comprises a map management server (110), configured to draw a mine road into a mine map; a path planning server (120), configured to plan a road node route on the basis of the mine map, and plan a transition route when a mining truck (140) switches lanes during a truck passing process; and a traffic control server (130), configured to store lane states of a plurality of lanes in the mine map, arbitrate a driving permission request of a mining truck (140) on the basis of the lane state of a lane into which the mining truck (140) is about to drive, approve the driving permission request of a mining truck (140) that meets a driving condition, and dynamically update the lane state according to the arbitration result, the lane states comprising an occupied state and an idle state. The traffic control system (100) and the method for same improve the efficiency off truck passing by the mining truck (140) on mine roads.

The present invention discloses systems, modules and methods for an autonomous orchestrion of at least one first swarm, comprising offline model-based subsystem for precomputation of swarm strategies to be performed at real-time; and a real-time subsystem intercommunicated with the offline pre-commutating subsystem.

A method and a transport system transports unit loads from a source position to a target region by autonomous guided vehicles. In this process, a unit load is transported in accordance with a transport order from a source position to a waiting location by a guided vehicle, which waiting location is assigned to the target region in accordance with the order. If the target region is free from another guided vehicle, the unit load is deposited at one of the storage locations of the target region. Here, an assignment of a unit load to a vacant storage location is derived from the arrival of the autonomous guided vehicles in the target region.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of an unmanned aerial vehicle remote take-off and landing method and system, and a terminal. A first route task instruction is sent to a first nest, where the first route task instruction is configured to control the first unmanned aerial vehicle to execute a first route task in a direction of a second nest. Distance information between the first unmanned aerial vehicle and the second nest is obtained in real time, and a vehicle moving instruction is sent to the second nest when the distance information is less than a preset distance, where the vehicle moving instruction is configured to controlling a second unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to the second nest to leave the second nest. A landing instruction is sent to the first unmanned aerial vehicle, to control the first unmanned aerial vehicle to land in the second nest.

A system includes a plurality of vehicles and at least one first processor in a first vehicle and at least one second processor in each other of the plurality of vehicles. The first vehicle wirelessly receives remote driving commands, from a remote computing system, instructing control of the first vehicle and executes the remote driving commands to control the first vehicle in accordance with the remote driving commands. The first vehicle wirelessly broadcasts the remote driving commands, including a location of the first vehicle where a given of the driving commands was executed. The second vehicle wirelessly receives the broadcast remote driving commands, stores the received remote driving commands in sequence, and executes the given of the driving commands when a location of the second vehicle corresponds to the location of the first vehicle where the given of the driving commands was executed.

A system for loading and transporting parcels includes: a sorter including a plurality of chutes for offloading parcels from the sorter; a plurality of totes; a plurality of self-driving vehicles (SDVs) configured to transport the plurality of totes between a loading area, an unloading area, and a queue area; and a control subsystem. The loading area includes a plurality of zones, with each zone corresponding to one or more chutes of the sorter. The control subsystem includes a controller, which is operably connected to the SDVs, and which selectively communicates instructions to dispatch SDVs to transport and replace totes in the loading area as they become filled to the predetermined capacity. A method for loading and transporting parcels in a sorting facility including a loading area, an unloading area, and a queue area is also disclosed.
