AUTOMATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160173 titled 'AUTOMATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The automated transportation system described in the patent application includes an automated transportation device, a stereo camera, and an information processing device. The device is equipped with an identification code and a stop position confirmation marker, while the stereo camera captures images of these markers. The information processing device then uses this information to obtain three-dimensional stop position information and identification information.
- Automated transportation device with identification code and stop position confirmation marker

Original Abstract Submitted
an automated transportation system comprises: an automated transportation device configured to transport an object to be conveyed, a stereo camera configured to obtain an image of the identification code and the stop position confirmation marker, and an information processing device configured to obtain a three-dimensional stop position information of the automated transportation device and the identification information from the taken image. the automated transportation device includes an identification code and a stop position confirmation marker attached to the automated transportation device. the identification code indicates an identification information to identify at least either one of the object to be conveyed and the automated transportation device. the stereo camera is arranged at a predetermined stop position of the automated transportation device. the information processing device transmits the three-dimensional stop position information to a post-process equipment when the identification information is compatible with a predetermined condition.
