The present invention relates to an apparatus and methods of removing material from the bed of a truck, for example, the bed of a pick-up track, The apparatus is an unloader apparatus the has both a bed part and an external part, the bed part designed to be used in the bed of the pick-up truck and the external part designed to be used to move the bed part. The bed part is substantially flat and the external part usually consists of lines that can be moved by means of a force provided by a winch, a moving truck or by some other means.

The present disclosure relates to a mobility capable of automating loading and unloading of a cargo without the aid of manpower and an apparatus for loading and unloading a cargo. The mobility includes a cargo hold that accommodates a cargo; and a loading plate positioned to be spaced apart from a bottom of the cargo hold and installed so as to be able to tilt toward any one side of the mobility in the cargo hold.

A robotic carton unloader for unloading cartons in a carton pile has a mobile body and a movable robotic arm attached to the mobile body that has an end effector at a movable end thereof to unload cartons from the carton pile. A conveyor system is attached to the mobile body and extends from front to rear of the carton unloader to convey cartons received thereon by the moveable robotic arm. The conveyor system comprises a central portion carried on the mobile body and a front portion extending therefrom towards the carton pile. The front portion is configured to change width from narrow to wider to act as a shield to catch and then move falling cartons received thereon.

A robotic truck unloader for unloading/unpacking product, such as boxes or cases, from trailers and containers is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile base structure provides a support framework for a drive subassembly, a conveyance subassembly, an industrial robot, a pivoting front conveyor, a distance measurement subassembly, and a control subassembly. The control subassembly coordinates the selective articulated movement of the industrial robot and the pivoting front conveyor as well as the activation of the drive subassembly based upon a perception-based robotic manipulation system. The robotic truck unloader executes pick-and-scoop operations utilizing the industrial robot and the pivoting front conveyor. Automated error handling is also provided.
