Each 1D ToF sensor of the plurality of 1D ToF sensors may be mounted at a fixed position and orientation on the mobile robotic device. Each pair of 1D ToF sensors of the plurality of 1D ToF sensors may be fixed at respective positions and orientations relative to each other such that respective cones of coverage of the pair of 1D ToF sensors are non-overlapping.

A robot includes: a base having a plurality of wheels; a body having a bottom portion coupled above the base, and a top portion above the bottom portion, the top portion configured to support food and/or drink; a first camera at the bottom portion, wherein the first camera is oriented to view upward; and a second camera at the top portion, wherein the second camera is configured to view upward.

A robot includes a housing, a body frame disposed inside the housing, a driving motor provided at lower portion of the body frame, a driving wheel rotated by the driving motor and protruding downward of the housing, a control rack mounted to the body frame and positioned above the driving motor, an opening defined in the housing and positioned at a rear side of the control rack, the control rack being insertable into the opening, and a back cover covering the opening.

Methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, and/or the like are provided. An example method may include determining a height value associated with a highest object on a pallet; causing a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor to travel to a height based at least in part on the height value; determining whether a detection signal from the LiDAR sensor indicates a first clear status; in response to determining that the detection signal indicates the first clear status, causing a robotic arm to lift the object until the detection signal indicates a blocked status and then a second clear status.

A method and system for autonomous picking or put-away of items, totes, or cases within a logistics facility. The system includes a remote server and at least one manipulation robot. The system may further include at least one transport robot. The remote server is configured to communicate with the various robots to send and receive picking data, and the various robots are configured to autonomously navigate and position themselves within the logistics facility.

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a mounting bracket and a self-propelled robot. The mounting bracket includes a housing, a rotating shaft and a magnetic positioning assembly. The housing is provided with an inner cavity. The rotating shaft is configured to rotate about an axis in the inner cavity. The magnetic positioning assembly includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element which are respectively arranged on the housing and the rotating shaft. The laser distance sensor is attached to the rotating shaft and configured to rotate about the axis. The mounting bracket is configured to prevent the rotating shaft from deviating from the axis by generating a force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element in a radial direction of the rotating shaft.

A robot vision-based automatic rivet placement system and method. The automatic rivet placement system includes: an industrial robot installed on a frame, a multi-functional end effector, a rivet blowing mechanism, a detection disk, and a rivet holding tray. The multi-functional end effector consists of a flange disk, a support frame, an industrial CCD camera, a laser displacement sensor, a spring, a mixing rod, and a vacuum nozzle. The multi-functional end effector is connected to a terminal end of the industrial robot via the flange disk. The industrial CCD camera is installed directly in front of the support frame, and is used to acquire a rivet image and measure a rivet parameter. The laser displacement sensor is installed at a side surface of the support frame, and is used to measure a rivet depth.

A method includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of robot sensors on a robot. The method includes generating a depth map that includes a plurality of pixel depths. The method includes determining, for each respective pixel depth, based on the at least one robot sensor associated with the respective pixel depth, a pixelwise confidence level indicative of a likelihood that the respective pixel depth accurately represents a distance between the robot and a feature of the environment. The method includes generating a pixelwise filterable depth map for a control system of the robot. The pixelwise filterable depth map is filterable to produce a robot operation specific depth map. The robot operation specific depth map is determined based on a comparison of each respective pixelwise confidence level with a confidence threshold corresponding to at least one operation of the robot controlled by the control system of the robot.

A method for assembling a component to a structure includes determining, by a controller, a location on the structure for a placement of the component onto the structure. The method further includes activating, by the controller, a light source to project a visual indicator onto the location. The method also includes actuating, by the controller, a robotic implement to locate and position the component at the location based on the visual indicator projected onto the location.
