Disclosed are an automatic recharging method, a device, a storage medium and a system, which belong to the field of computer technology. The method may include: starting an image acquisition component to acquire an automatic recharging image during an automatic recharging process; determining, when the automatic recharging image contains a feature identification, the relative positional relationship between a charging surface of a charging base and the automatic recharging device based on the position of the feature identification in the automatic recharging image; displaying the feature identification on the charging surface of the charging base; determining a movement direction of the automatic recharging device based on the relative positional relationship, to make the automatic recharging device move toward the charging surface of the charging base.

Various embodiments for controlling a state of an autonomous vehicle that is to meet a user are provided. A receiver receives location information indicating a current location of the user. A memory stores a plurality of states of the autonomous vehicle. Each of the states at least one of visually or audibly distinguishes the autonomous vehicle. A sensor senses an environment of the autonomous vehicle to obtain environment information. A distance from a place of meeting the user to the current location of the user is calculated based on the location information. A first state is selected in accordance with the environment information. The autonomous vehicle is caused to change from a second state to the first state when the distance from the place of meeting the user to the current location of the user becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined distance.

A method of area coverage planning with replenishment planning includes receiving information of a boundary of the work area, location information of one or more refill stations, and information of a current amount of the material left in the autonomous vehicle, laying a plurality of tracks within the boundary of the work area so as to minimize a total distance of the plurality of tracks, generating a coverage trajectory, and based on (i) the coverage trajectory, (ii) the location information of the one or more refill stations, (iii) the current amount of the material left in the autonomous vehicle, and (iv) a nominal full amount and a nominal consumption rate of the material by the autonomous vehicle, determining one or more logistic points along the coverage trajectory at which a remaining amount of the material reaches a threshold, for each logistic point, generating a replenishment trajectory.

A method at an autonomous vehicle for signaling a refueling attendant, the method including confirming that the autonomous vehicle is proximal to a refueling station; providing a signal to the refueling attendant; waiting for refueling to commence; and if, after a threshold period, refueling has not commenced, repeating the providing the signal.

A vehicle such as an autonomous or self-driving vehicle has a navigation system for displaying, on a display screen, a user interface presenting a map showing multiple routes. The vehicle includes a traffic-prioritization processor configured to cooperate with the navigation system to present prices and travel times for the multiple routes via the user interface to enable a user of the vehicle to select one of the multiple routes based on both the prices and the travel times displayed on the display screen. The vehicle further includes a radiofrequency data transceiver configured to cooperate with the traffic-prioritization processor to communicate with one or more other vehicles or a central server to negotiate a traffic reprioritization for a user-selected route.

A multi-anchor depth control system for a boat or other watercraft having a line for securing anchors to the boat, at least two anchors attached at or near opposing ends of the line, a depth finder, and a controller configured to automatically adjust the amount of line released from the boat to maintain the anchors on the floor of the body of water in which the boat is floating, based upon information obtained from the depth finder.

A hybrid modular storage fetching system is described. In an example implementation, the system may include a warehouse execution system adapted to generate a picking schedule for picking pick-to-cart and high-density storage items, and an AGV dispatching system adapted to dispatch a cart automated guided vehicle and a modular storage fetching automated guided vehicle based on the picking schedule. The cart automated guided vehicle may be adapted autonomously transport a carton through a pick-to-cart area and to a pick-cell station. The modular storage fetching automated guided vehicle may be adapted to synchronously autonomously transport a modular storage unit containing items to be placed in the cartons from a high-density storage area to the pick-cell station.

The present disclosure provides a method for docking a self-moving device with a charging station, wherein the charging station is connected to a boundary line, and the method comprises the following steps: controlling the self-moving device to move from the current position close to a docking boundary; judging whether the self-moving device senses the boundary line signal during the moving process; if the self-moving device senses the boundary line signal before it reaches the docking boundary or when it reaches the docking boundary, controlling the self-moving device to move towards the charging station through the boundary line signal until the docking is successful; if the self-moving device has not sense the boundary line signal when it reaches the docking boundary, controlling the self-moving device to move from the docking boundary to the boundary line until the boundary line signal is sensed. The present disclosure sets the docking boundary and controls the self-moving device to move close to the docking boundary to find the boundary line, thereby improving the regression efficiency of the self-moving device.
