    Abstract: An intelligent forklift and a method for detecting a pose deviation of a container are provided. The intelligent forklift includes a working state monitor, an image sensor, and a processor. The working state monitor is configured to monitor a working state of the intelligent forklift while the intelligent forklift is carrying and moving a stock container and send a trigger to the image sensor based on the working state. The image sensor is configured to capture an RGBD image frame containing the stock container in response to the trigger and to transmit the RGBD image frame to the processor. The processor is configured to receive the RGBD image frame, detect a pose deviation degree of the stock container and provide an alarm and/or a prompt based on a detection result of the pose deviation degree for adjusting the pose of the stock container.

    Abstract: A warehousing system and warehousing control method are disclosed. The warehousing system comprises: an inventory holder, a control module, and a transport device. The inventory holder includes a plurality of layers in the vertical direction, each provided with a plurality of goods locations, where each goods location has a popularity grade. The popularity grade of the goods location is related to the layer, where the goods location is located, and/or the distance between the goods location and an entrance of the inventory holder. The goods location stores goods of which the popularity grade matches the popularity grade of the goods location. For example, the higher the popularity grade of the goods, the higher the in-warehouse/ex-warehouse frequency, so that a transport device can save time when acquiring goods having high popularity grade a plurality of times, improving the efficiency of the transport device in picking up and storing goods.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pickup robot, a pickup method, and a computer-readable storage medium. First, obtain a target image captured when a pickup component moves to each slot where a commodity is stored; then, when it is determined, on the basis of the slot identifier in the target image, that the current slot is a target slot which stores a commodity to be picked, screen a commodity identifier from the target image; when the commodity identifier is obtained by means of screening, determine, on the basis of the commodity identifier, the position information of the commodity to be picked up in the target slot; finally, pick up, on the basis of the position information, said commodity from the target slot. In the technical solution above, the target slot where the commodity to be picked up is stored, and the position information of said commodity in the target slot can be accurately determined by using the slot identifier and the commodity identifier, and said commodity can be accurately picked up on the basis of the determined position information, thereby effectively improving the pickup success rate, and also helping to improve the logistics efficiency of logistics industry.
