A transport trolley for consignments having wheels which define a contact plane for moving the trolley, having a load compartment for receiving consignments during transport, and having a shelf for carrying consignments. The shelf can be adjusted from a lower non-use position arranged in the load compartment into an upper, moderate use position arranged outside the load compartment, and back. The shelf can be adjusted from a lower non-use position arranged in the load compartment into an upper, elevated use position arranged outside the load compartment, and back. The moderate use position and the elevated use position are arranged in a range between 1.0 m and 1.7 m above the contact plane. The elevated use position is arranged above the moderate use position, and a drive is provided for at least partially adjusting the height of the shelf above the contact plane.

A load handling system for a vehicle includes a set of forks that concurrently supports two or more pallets including a first pallet and a second pallet linearly positioned along a length of the forks, and a lifting system to raise and lower the forks. A traction system moves the vehicle in a direction of travel associated with withdrawing the forks from the pallets. Additionally, an actuation device generates an activation signal in response to being actuated by an operator, and a vehicle controller places the vehicle in an automated mode of operation in response to receiving the activation signal. In the automated mode of operation, a front end of the forks moves from the second pallet to the first pallet, and the first pallet is raised while the second pallet remains on a transport surface. The first pallet is then spaced apart from the second pallet by a predetermined distance and then lowered to the transport surface.

A hand-driven wheeled cart or suitcase, including: a body section of the cart or suitcase including a back side, a top side, a bottom side and a front side; a handle coupled to the body section; two wheels coupled to the bottom side of the body section, adjacent the back side of the body section; and a motor housed in one of the two wheels, the motor being actuated by a button on the handle.

The cart may include: a driving wheel; a motor configured to rotate the driving wheel; a motor drive circuit configured to drive the motor; a control device configured to control the motor via the motor drive circuit so that a travelling speed of the cart becomes equal to or lower than an upper limit travelling speed; and an operation member arranged on the cart and configured to receive an operation by a user. The cart may be configured to operate in a manual mode where the motor is driven when the operation member is on and the motor is stopped when the operation member is off, and in an automatic mode were the motor is driven regardless of whether the operation member is on or off. The upper limit travelling speed in the automatic mode may be set lower than the upper limit travelling speed in the manual mode.

A basket assembly for receiving goods therein; a main body coupled to a bottom of the basket assembly to support the basket assembly; a handle assembly installed on one side of the main body; a wheel assembly rotatably coupled to a bottom of the main body to move the main body in a direction in which a force is applied to the handle assembly; and a battery installed inside the main body for supplying electrical energy to the wheel assembly.

The present disclosure provides a conveyance system and the like capable of preferably conveying a conveyed object in accordance with a state of the conveyed object. The conveyance system includes a conveyance robot, a drive controller, which is a controller, an image data acquisition unit, and a setting unit. The conveyance robot conveys the conveyed object. The drive controller controls an operation of the conveyance robot. The image data acquisition unit acquires image data obtained by capturing images of the conveyed object. The setting unit sets an operation parameter of the conveyance robot in the drive controller based on the acquired image data.

A mobility apparatus includes a frame, a body surrounding the frame having a front side, a rear side, a top side, a bottom side, and first and second lateral sides, a seat located on the top side of the body, a plurality of wheels attached to the frame, a motor for driving at least one of the plurality of wheels attached to the frame, a battery for supplying electricity to the motor, and a controller for directing movement of the mobility apparatus. The top side of the body includes seats for children to ride the mobility apparatus. The mobility apparatus may also include a tether cord or handrails for directing movement of the mobility apparatus, or the mobility apparatus may follow a transmitter or autonomously drive.

A cart that follows a transmission module based on position information of the transmission module and a method for moving the cart are provided. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cart accumulatively stores the position information of the transmission module and generates a moving path based on the position information of the transmission module and moves.

Robotic vehicle and use thereof for displacing a holder for goods, which is for instance loaded with goods, which vehicle can be operated in an empty position and a loaded position, comprising of (1) moving the robotic vehicle to a position under the holder in a first direction, wherein the robotic vehicle is in the empty position, wherein a holding means is countersunk in a body of the vehicle; (2) lifting the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle lifts the holder by performing a vertical movement of the holding means relative to the wheels of the vehicle, such that the holding means comes into contact with an underside of the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle transfers to the loaded position; (3) rotating driven wheels of the robotic vehicle from the first direction to the second direction without the body of the vehicle being rotated, and (4) displacing the robotic vehicle in the loaded position in a second direction, wherein the first and second direction enclose a mutual angle of between 60 and 120 degrees, preferably 75 and 105 degrees, more preferably 85 and 95 degrees, such as a substantially right angle.

In accordance with an embodiment, a mobile infant care device includes a carrier having an inner space configured to hold an infant positioned therein, and driving wheels provided at a lower part of the carrier; a monitoring system affixed to the carrier and configured to monitor a state of the infant positioned in the inner space of the carrier; a driving system coupled to the driving wheels, the driving system configured to move a position of the carrier by driving the driving wheels; a communication system configured to wirelessly transmit a monitoring result of the monitoring system to a user terminal device or to wirelessly receive an operation input from the user terminal device; and a controller configured to cause the driving system to move the carrier based on the monitoring result of the monitoring system or the operation input received through the communication system.
