Abstract: Storage and retrieval systems demand time and space efficient approaches. Embodiments herein provide a storage system with guided plate based lifting apparatus for payload loading-unloading on storage rack. The system deploys an Automated Guided Vehicle/Autonomous Mobile Robot (AGV/AMR) mounted with multiple lifting apparatuses in between two adjacent storage racks. The racks are modified with guide plates having entry cutouts for horizontal movements and entry guides for vertical movement of lifting apparatus. Ramp provided in the guide plates at the bottom of racks ensures there is enough clearance for lifting apparatus to go inside an aisle and have smooth vertical lifting. Wheel retention mechanism guides the vertical lifting maintaining required clearance. A conveyor belt mechanism mounted to base plate of lifting apparatus consists of geared rotary motor for conveyor belt that has a forward and backward movement, enabling the lifting apparatus to load/unload the payload inside/outside the racks.

Abstract: Conventional fork type autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are suitable to handle pallets and are typically designed with two forks. Such AMRs are very bulky and designed for a cart handling application, and usually have large openings and less suitable for lifting roller carts. Present disclosure provides chassis with integrated single fork assembly for AMRs/Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for transporting roller cages/carts within warehouses. Chassis with integrated single fork assembly enables performing tasks given by end users. Chassis carries steer and drive wheel and swivel wheels to increase stability of the AMR wherein a fork mechanism is provided which includes fork wheels and lifting mechanism. Such design and mechanism of the chassis with integrated single fork assembly overcomes the limitations of smaller widths between wheels of roller cage/carts for placement/movement of payload within warehouses and logistics environments and counter imbalance and deflection of payload and fork assembly caused therebetween.

Abstract: Object manipulation space optimization is a challenging task and used in applications such as heat treatment operation and transport packaging. Traditionally manual intervention is involved to grasp and place the objects for ensuring multi object stacking with zero gap between adjacent objects. This leads to higher cost infrastructure and low productivity. Further, conventional gripper devices fail to optimize object manipulation space and are unable to handle objects of different cross sections with larger lengths. The present disclosure provides a gripper apparatus addressing a single gripper design comprising an adaptor holding unit with a provision for different modular object holding units which are varied in accordance with size, shape and length of the object to be grasped and placed by the gripper apparatus. The modular object holding unit comprises a plurality of fingers which are actuated for grasping and stacking one or more objects such that object manipulation space is optimized.
