AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ROBOT AND ARTICLE TRANSPORT METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240189991 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ROBOT AND ARTICLE TRANSPORT METHOD USING THE SAME

The abstract describes an autonomous driving robot with a storage unit that includes a housing for storing articles and shelves for loading the articles. It also features a manipulator with a linear actuator and a selective compliance articulated robot arm, as well as a transport unit connected to the storage unit.

• The robot has a storage unit with a housing and shelves for storing articles.
• It includes a manipulator with a linear actuator and a selective compliance articulated robot arm.
• A transport unit is coupled to the storage unit for mobility.
• The shelves are arranged adjacent to inner walls of the housing and extend towards the central portion without reaching it.

Potential Applications: - Automated warehouse systems - Logistics and supply chain management - Manufacturing processes

Problems Solved: - Efficient storage and retrieval of articles - Automation of handling tasks - Optimization of space utilization

Benefits: - Increased productivity and efficiency - Reduced human intervention in handling tasks - Enhanced safety in material handling operations

Commercial Applications: Title: Autonomous Robotic Storage and Retrieval System This technology can be utilized in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers to streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the autonomous driving robot navigate within a warehouse or storage facility? 2. What safety features are integrated into the manipulator to prevent accidents during operation?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research focuses on enhancing the robot's artificial intelligence capabilities for improved decision-making and navigation in complex environments.

Original Abstract Submitted

an autonomous driving robot includes a storage unit including a housing, which provides a space for storing an article, and a shelf which is provided inside the housing and on which the article is loaded, a manipulator including a linear actuator, and a selective compliance articulated robot arm, which is coupled to the linear actuator, and a transport unit coupled to the storage unit, wherein a plurality of shelves are provided, some of the shelves are provided adjacent to one inner wall of the housing and spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, and the other shelves are provided adjacent to another inner wall which faces the one inner wall and spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, and the plurality of shelves extend toward a central portion of the housing, but extend to a point before reaching the central portion of the housing.
