Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and a method for operating a pair of twistlocks and an associated robot. The apparatus comprises a first component adapted to clamp a first twistlock to allow the clamped first twistlock to be removed from a container; and a second component arranged adjacent to the first component and adapted to clamp a second twistlock to allow the clamped second twistlock to be removed from a container; or receive the first twistlock released from the first component to allow the first component to clamp the second twistlock. With the first and second components, the pair of twistlocks, especially mid-type twistlocks, can be operated more quickly with less operation steps. In this way, the operation efficiency for operating the mid-type twistlocks can be significantly improved with lower costs.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for determining a position of a tracking device. The tracking device includes a vision sensor and an inertial sensor. A first position of the tracking device in relative to a reference marker is obtained based on an image of the reference marker that is collected by the vison sensor. A second position of the tracking device in relative to the first position is obtained by the inertial sensor after a movement of the tracking device. A position of the tracking device in relative to the reference marker is determined based on the first and second positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for handling twistlocks configured to lock a container onto a vehicle. The apparatus includes a gripper configured to grip one of the twistlocks to be mounted onto or dismounted from a corner fitting of a container. Further, the apparatus has a visual sensor configured to capture a first image of the corner fitting when the vehicle is moving in a twistlock handling station. The apparatus includes a control unit configured to obtain, from the visual sensor, the first image; make some determinations based on the first image; and send a handling position such that the gripper moves to the handling position to handle the one of the twistlocks during the moving of the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and a method for operating a twistlock and an associated robot. The apparatus comprises a clamping assembly comprising a plurality of pairs of clamping portions spaced apart by different distances and adapted to engage with different types of twistlocks, respectively; and an operating assembly adapted to drive one of the plurality of pairs of clamping portions to clamp the twistlock and to drive the clamped twistlock to rotate, to allow the clamped twistlock to be mounted on or removed from a container. In this way, the apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to most types of twistlocks without changing the clamping assembly, thereby improving the operation efficiency and reducing the costs.

Abstract: Method for determining a lock type of a lock device. In the method, a group of raw data of a group of lock devices is collected from a group of sensors respectively. Here the group of lock devices are respectively mounted to an object at a group of positions, and the group of lock devices belong to at least one lock type of a plurality of lock types. A group of probability distributions are obtained based on the group of raw data. Here a probability distribution in the group of probability distributions is associated with a lock device in the group of lock devices and probabilities of lock types to which the lock device belongs. A lock type of the lock device is determined based on the group of probability distributions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for determining an object location of an object. In the method, a group of measurement locations for a group of feature marks in the object are collected from a group of sensors, respectively. A group of estimation locations are obtained for the group of feature marks based on the object location and a group of offsets between the group of estimation locations and the object location, respectively. An error function is generated based on the group of measurement locations and the group of estimation locations. The object location is determined based on the error function. With these embodiments, performance and accuracy for determining the object location may be greatly increased.
