MOTORIZED TROLLEY
20260015016 · 2026-01-15 ·

A motorised trolley with a traction wheel, an assisting motor, a clutch, a speed sensor and a motor controller. The assisting motor engages when accelerating beyond an activation speed and disengages when decelerating below the activation speed. The assisting motor disengages when the motorised trolley accelerates beyond a maximum speed and re-engages when decelerating below the maximum speed. The assisting motor engageably-disengages when the rotational speed exceeds a maximum motor speed. A power source may include power-tool batteries.

ROBOT SYSTEM FOR STORAGE AUTOMATION AND/OR METHOD THEREFOR

The system can include: a chassis, sensor suite, computing system, a set of drive mechanisms, a set of deployment mechanisms, and/or any other suitable components. The system can optionally include a support tray and a set of tray actuators. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to traverse within a support frame. Additionally or alternatively, the system can structurally support and/or a transport payload (e.g., shipping pallet), such as on the optional support tray (e.g., which may be actuated/locked into the support frame). However, the system can provide any other suitable functionalities.
