    Abstract: A shelf management method includes predicting whether there is space in the station queue area of a station; if yes, selecting a shelf from among the shelves allocated to the station and have not yet been transported, and controlling a moving robot to transport the selected shelf; after the moving robot is engaged with the selected shelf, re-predicting whether there is space in the station queue areas of all the stations that need the selected shelf; if yes, controlling the moving robot to transport the selected shelf to the station queue area that has been predicted to have space, and when the moving robot has transported the selected shelf to the pre-set area around the station queue area that has been predicted to have space, determining whether there is newly available space in the station queue area; if yes, controlling the moving robot to enter the station queue area.

    Abstract: A goods sorting system includes at least one layer of operation platform, a control server, and at least one first robot operating on the operation platform. Each first robot includes at least two delivery mechanisms. Each operation platform includes at least two delivery container layers corresponding to the delivery mechanisms. Each delivery container layer includes at least one delivery container. The control server determines a target delivery container, a target delivery container layer, and a target operation platform, based on information of goods to be sorted; dispatches one first robot as a target first robot and determines one delivery mechanism as a target delivery mechanism, based on the target delivery container layer and the target operation platform; and controls the target delivery mechanism to obtain the goods to be sorted. The first robot delivers the goods to be sorted in the target delivery mechanism into the target delivery container.
