This automated analysis support robot for carrying out an inspection of an analysis module that automatically analyzes a biological sample comprises a vehicle body, a camera mounted on the vehicle body, a communication device which communicates directly or indirectly with the analysis module, and a computer for controlling the vehicle body and the camera, wherein the computer: controls the vehicle body to move to a predetermined operating position and to face an inspection target provided in the analysis module; images the inspection target using the camera; and processes a video of the inspection target to calculate management data relating to the inspection target.

A disinfection robot, including a top plate, a bottom plate and a swinging mechanism. The top plate is located above the bottom plate. The swinging mechanism is located between the top plate and the bottom plate, and includes a swinging arm, a hinge shaft, a swinging gear, two swinging units and a driving unit. The swinging arm is hingedly connected to the bottom plate through the hinge shaft. The two swinging units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the swinging gear. Each of the two swinging units includes a swinging shaft, an incomplete gear and a linear driver. The driving unit is configured to simultaneously drive swinging shafts of the two swinging units to rotate in opposite directions. The disinfection robot can adjust a swing amplitude of the swinging arm according to a size of a disinfection site.

The disclosure provides a method and system for trajectory tracking control of a vehicle-manipulator coupling system with finite time prescribed performance. Specifically, the trajectory tracking error of the vehicle-manipulator coupling system is obtained. A finite time performance function is designed to constrain the trajectory tracking error. In a case the constraint conditions corresponding to the finite time performance function are satisfied, the trajectory tracking error is converted to obtain a transformed error. The sliding mode surface is designed based on the transformed error to control the transformed error to converge in a finite time, and the external disturbance of the vehicle-manipulator coupling system is observed based on non-linear disturbance observer. The control input of the vehicle-manipulator coupling system is designed based on the sliding mode surface and the non-linear disturbance observer output. This ensures that the vehicle-manipulator coupling system can be controlled to operate precisely along the desired trajectory.

This disclosure describes monitoring and operating subsea well systems, such as to perform operations in the construction and control of targets in a subsea environment. A submersible ROV that performs operations in the construction and control of targets (e.g., well completion components) in a subsea environment, the ROV has one or more imaging devices that capture data that is processed to provide information that assists in the control and operations of the ROV and/or well completion system while the ROV is subsea.

A navigation system and method including an autonomous intelligent motorized audible navigation cart. The audible and intelligent features of the navigation system can be accomplished using a combination of artificial intelligence and speech recognition technology. The navigation system can be used to help the visually impaired person navigate a store for locating products.

A gas supply system includes a cabinet in which a gas container is disposed, a fastening device movable with respect to the gas container, and fastenable to a valve of the gas container while aligned with the valve, a mobile robot device detachably connected to the fastening device and configured to move the fastening device, a three-dimensional (3D) vision camera configured to collect an image, and a processor configured to control an operation of the mobile robot device based on the image collected by the 3D vision camera.

The disclosure provides a method and system for trajectory tracking control of a vehicle-manipulator coupling system with finite time prescribed performance. Specifically, a coupling weaken trajectory planning method is designed to reduce the system's coupling effects. A finite time performance function is designed to constrain the trajectory tracking error. In a case the constraint conditions corresponding to the finite time performance function are satisfied, the trajectory tracking error is converted to obtain a transformed error. The sliding mode surface is designed based on the transformed error to control the transformed error to converge in a finite time, and the external disturbance of the vehicle-manipulator coupling system is observed based on non-linear disturbance observer. The control input of the vehicle-manipulator coupling system is designed based on the sliding mode surface and the non-linear disturbance observer output. This ensures that the vehicle-manipulator coupling system can operate precisely along the desired trajectory.

The present disclosure provides a control method for goods retrievement and storage, a control apparatus, and a transport robot. The control method for goods retrievement includes: receiving a retrievement instruction, and acquiring locating information of target goods according to the retrievement instruction; moving a transport robot to a target position according to the locating information; obtaining status information of the target goods and/or position relationship information between a carrying apparatus and the target goods; and adjusting a position and posture of the carrying apparatus according to the status information and/or the position relationship information, and causing the carrying apparatus to take out the target goods. According to the present disclosure, the position of the target goods can be accurately determined by obtaining status information of the target goods and/or position relationship information between the carrying apparatus and the target goods, so that the target goods can be accurately retrieved.

A battery powered octocopter drone with a protective frame. An articulating arm is mounted to the drone with a battery powered chain saw positioned along the end of the articulating arm. The chainsaw allows for the trimming of remote trees and bushes previously only accessible by a ladder or bucket lift. The drone is adjustable forward/aft to compensate for the center of gravity. The drone includes a remote control receiver, telemetry and an antenna allowing an operator to control all aspects of the drone from a remote position.
