Abstract: A sorting system includes a control server, multiple sorting robots, and a sorting region. The sorting region is divided into multiple sub-regions. At least one supply station and multiple delivery openings are deployed in each sub-region. Delivery openings respectively correspond to paths. The control server determines, according to path information of an item to be sorted, a target delivery opening corresponding to a path of the item, determines, from the multiple sub-regions of the sorting region, a target sub-region in which the target delivery opening is located, and allocates a delivery task to a target sorting robot among the multiple sorting robots. In response to the delivery task, the target sorting robot acquires the item from the supply station where the item is located, carries the item to the target delivery opening in the target sub-region, and delivers the same.

The parcel sorting layer (10) includes a modular entity platform (101) is a physical platform formed by splicing multiple splicable units and used for sorting parcels. The modular entity platform (101) includes multiple delivery lattices (1011) arranged in an array and a traveling area constituted by gaps between the multiple delivery lattices (1011) and used for the parcel delivery robot (12) traveling. One delivery lattices (1011) corresponds to one or more delivery path directions. The moveable container carrying layer (11) includes multiple moveable containers (110), and a part of the movable containers are located below the multiple delivery lattices (1011) and receive the parcel from the parcel sorting layer (10).

Abstract: A container conveying system including a controller, a first robot, and/or a second robot. A first container pickup mechanism is provided on the first robot. A second container pickup mechanism is provided on the second robot. The controller is configured to, in response to a container conveying request, send a first conveying instruction to the first robot if it is determined a target container to be conveyed based on the container conveying request has a size within a first size range; or send a second conveying instruction to the second robot if it is determined the target has a size within a second size range. In warehousing operation scenarios, by jointly using the two robots for operation, containers with various container sizes can be picked up and placed, thus improving utilization rate of a container storage space.
