The installation/uninstallation device includes a first robotic arm 1, a second robotic arm 2, a carrier disc 3, a main correction mechanism 4, a wafer correction mechanism 5 and a material rest mechanism 6. The carrier disc 3, the main correction mechanism 4, the wafer correction mechanism 5 and the material rest mechanism 6 are positioned within the moving range of the first and second robotic arms 1 and 2. The first robotic arm 1 drives an image capturing assembly 11 and a wafer locating member installation/uninstallation mechanism 12 to move. The second robotic arm 2 drives a wafer taking/placing mechanism 21 to move. Multiple wafer discs 31 are disposed on the carrier disc 3. The main correction mechanism 4 corrects the image capturing assembly 11, the wafer locating member installation/uninstallation mechanism 12 to true operation positions.

Disclosed is a control method for delivery robots, wherein a distribution area has a preset home point. The control method includes: identifying a second delivery robot that obstructs a first delivery robot, wherein the first delivery robot is in a working state of heading to one or more target positions, and the second delivery robot is in an idle state; determining a distance between the second delivery robot and the home point; and controlling the second delivery robot to avoid the first delivery robot according to the distance between the second delivery robot and the home point. In view of the situation that an idle delivery robot may obstruct a delivery robot performing a task, the disclosure proposes an avoidance judgment logic to control the idle delivery robot to avoid, thereby improving distribution efficiency and preventing congestion.

An object processing system is disclosed for dynamically providing the removal of objects from a trailer of a tractor trailer. The object processing system includes a load assessment system for assessing a load characteristic of a plurality of objects within the trailer and for providing load assessment data representative of the load characteristic, an object assessment system for assessing a relative position and relative environment of an object of the plurality of objects responsive to the load assessment data, and for providing object assessment data for the object, and a dynamic engagement system for dynamically engaging the objects within the trailer with either of at least two cooperatively operable programmable motion devices responsive to the object assessment data.

A robotic fleet management platform includes a resources data store that maintains a fleet resource inventory indicating fleet resources that can be assigned to a robotic fleet and, for each fleet resource, maintenance history, predicted maintenance need, and a preventive maintenance schedule. The platform includes a maintenance management library of fleet resource maintenance requirements for determining maintenance workflows, service actions, and service parts for at least one fleet resource in the fleet resource inventory. The platform calculates predicted maintenance need of a fleet resource based on anticipated component wear and anticipated component failure of the at least one fleet resource according to machine learning-based analysis of the maintenance status data. The platform monitors a health state of the fleet resource based on sensor data. The platform initiates a service action of the at least one item of maintenance for the fleet resource based on the fleet resource maintenance requirements.

A device assembling system includes a management apparatus, a material apparatus, and an execution apparatus. The management apparatus is communicatively connected to the material apparatus and the execution apparatus, and the material apparatus and the execution apparatus are installed into an overall structure. The management apparatus is configured to obtain a maintenance task of a maintenance device. The maintenance task includes an operation type and an operation object. The management apparatus parses the maintenance task into a first control instruction and a second control instruction. The material apparatus receives the first control instruction, and searches for a to-be-assembled part according to the first control instruction, that is, the material apparatus may determine a position of the to-be-assembled part. The execution apparatus receives the second control instruction, and obtains the to-be-assembled part and assembles the to-be-assembled part to a device according to the second control instruction.

A robotic system is disclosed to control multiple robots to cooperatively load/unload a truck or other container. In various embodiments, image data is received and used to control a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm to load or unload objects into or from the truck or other container, including by loading or unloading one or more of the objects using the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm together to cooperatively to grasp and move each of one or more of the objects along a corresponding trajectory.

A mother-child robot cooperative work system and a work method thereof include a mother robot and a charging base0, in which the mother robot is provided with a control unit and a work unit. The system also includes child robot, communicatively coupled to the mother robot. The mother robot performs cleaning for a work area under the control of the control unit, and recognizes cleanable area and assisted cleaning area in a cleaning process. After cleaning work in the cleanable area is completed, the control unit in the mother robot controls the child robot to cooperatively complete the cleaning work in the assisted cleaning area. The mother robot is provided with a child robot pose sensing unit. The unit inputs child robot pose information to the control unit; and the control unit controls the child robot to act as indicated.

In an embodiment, a method for handling an order includes determining a plurality of ingredients based on an order, received from a user over a network, for a location having a plurality of robots. The method further includes planning at least one trajectory for at least one robot based on the plurality of ingredients and utensils available at the location, and proximity of each ingredient and utensil to the at least one robot. Each trajectory can be configured to move one of the plurality of ingredients into a container associated with the order. In an embodiment, the method includes executing the at least one trajectory by the at least one robot to fulfill the order. In an embodiment, the method includes moving the container to a pickup area.
