Problems solved by technology

Therefore, any required changes in pick and drop points or repositioning of the entire conveyor system (if required) can be quite challenging and sometimes impossible
Furthermore, the conveyor belt system being a fixed system does not allow any variation in the throughput in it
Furthermore, failure of any one component in the conveyor belt system can render the entire system inoperable
In addition, conveyor belt systems do not allow distribution gaps between items placed on them, which can lead to dangerous accidents

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The following detailed description illustrates embodiments of the disclosure and the manner in which they can be practiced. While certain modes of carrying out the disclosure have been disclosed, those skilled in the art will recognize that other embodiments are possible for making or practicing the disclosure.

[0022] The present disclosure provides a reliable and efficient method and system for handling items using multiple mobile robots. The present disclosure allows items to be handled by mobile robots. The mobile robot is configured to operate at multiple pick and drop points. A mobile robot transfers items by following a conveyor path connecting a pick-up location and a drop-off location. Furthermore, the transfer path is a closed loop through which the mobile robot is configured to connect the pick and drop locations. Advantageously, the closed loop allows the mobile robot to move seamlessly along a defined path connecting the pick and drop locations. Furthe...

Abstract

A method for handling items using a plurality of movable-bots includes defining a conveyance path to be followed by the plurality of movable-bots, where the conveyance path is configured as a closed loop. The method further includes defining, for each of the plurality of movable-bots, a plurality of path attributes associated with the conveyance path. The method further includes instructing each of the plurality of movable-bots to synchronize a movement with respect to at least one other movable-bot based on the plurality of path attributes when moving along the conveyance path.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for moving items. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of mobile robots for sorting and transferring items. Background technique [0002] In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for industrial products in daily life. In order to meet the increasing demand for industrial products, industries need to maintain a sustainable supply-demand ratio. Traditionally, industries used to employ human labor to sort and transfer inventory items. However, employing human labor in such sorting facilities generally tends to be costly and error prone and can also be time consuming. Many such sorting facilities employ conveyor belt systems that are introduced as a carrier medium in order to reduce the cost and time consumption of moving items from one location to another within the facility. [0003] Generally, conveyor belt systems utilize two or more rollers configured w...
