The present disclosure discloses a multi-stage load adjustment type moving cart. The multi-stage load adjustment type moving cart according to the present disclosure includes: a base frame; a vertical frame vertically installed on one side of the base frame; an inclination angle adjustment unit installed on one side of the vertical frame and configured to selectively elongate a rod; a variable inclination rail having an upper one end supported to be rotatable around a hinge point hinge-coupled to the vertical frame and having one lower end connected to the inclination angle adjustment unit; and a raising and lowering unit including a raising and lowering body provided with a first roller and a second roller coming into rolling.

The improved mobile robot utilizes a cooperative wheeled support arrangement having a unique axle design that preferably cooperates with a base support module. A tri-axle is preferably used to support at least one omni-wheel on each axle section. Multiple omni-wheels on each section can be used for higher load applications. The tri-axle is of a fixed design and each wheel pivots on the individual axle section. Preferably, the axle sections are welded to each other.

A battery-powered dolly in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a handle, a connector, a motor, a wheel, a detector, a rotation information acquirer and a controller. The controller stops supplying an electric power from a battery to the motor based on (i) a battery current value and/or a battery voltage value detected by the detector and (ii) a rotation information acquired by the rotation information acquirer.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

The present invention relates to an autonomous driving cart. More particularly, the present invention relates to an autonomous driving cart that stores information on a leading subject, detects the leading subject from sensed information, and follows the detected leading subject.

An information processing apparatus for controlling an autonomous vehicle configured to move in a shop includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire recipe information for a cooking menu selected by a user, identify a display location of at least one ingredient necessary for completing the cooking menu based on the acquired recipe information, generate route information on a route to the identified display location, and provide the generated route information to the autonomous vehicle.

The invention relates to a stroller frame, comprising at least one motor, in particular an electric motor, for a supported drive of the stroller frame, at least one adjustment device for adjusting, in particular sliding and/or pivoting, at least one adjustable component of the stroller frame from a first position into at least one second position, and at least one coupling device, comprising at least one switching device, such that the potential drive output of the at least one motor is changed, in particular reduced, by at least one adjustment process using the adjustment device.

The present invention is a general-purpose electronic cart, particularly a rechargeable motorized personal shopping and utility cart that can move in a forward, backward or lateral sense and includes a collapsible container and a control console.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a self-driving system that can engage and move an inventory holder. In one embodiment, the self-driving system includes a mobile base comprising motorized wheels, an actuator disposed within the mobile base, the actuator is operable to adjust a height of the mobile base, a console having an upper portion and a main body, the main body being coupled to a first end of the mobile base in a standing configuration, and a first camera disposed on a first side of the upper portion of the console, the first camera facing a second end of the mobile base opposing the first end.

Wheel assembly (200) a self-propelling trolley (100), comprising a wheel (111,112); an electric motor (151,152) arranged to perform a rocking drive pattern; an electric connector (220), arranged to connect the motor (151,152) to a battery (156); and a mechanical brake (230) activatable so that a rotational movement of the wheel (111,112) is limited, The invention is characterised in that the mechanical brake (230) is arranged so that, in an engaged state, the wheel (111,112) can turn freely in relation to the trolley (100) across a ground distance of between 5 and 20 cm between a first rotary limit position and a second rotary limit position. The movement limitation is provided by several elongated concentric tracks interacting with a pin.
