    摘要: In a method, historic delivery information is kept, which is associated with multiple deliveries of shipments, and the historic delivery information for each of the deliveries of shipments associated with the delivery information represents details pertaining to a delivery route, pertaining to an energy requirement, and pertaining to a vehicle configuration. In the method, shipment delivery information is obtained for multiple shipments to be delivered. The shipment delivery information represents a detail pertaining to the delivery position for the delivery of the respective shipment. A delivery route for delivering the shipments and a vehicle configuration is determined based on the shipment delivery information and the historical delivery information. In particular, the expected energy requirement for the delivery of the shipments is determined. Delivery control information is provided in order to cause delivery of the shipments along the determined delivery route by a vehicle having the determined vehicle configuration.

    摘要: Presented are embodiments of a modular transport robot for transporting consignments. The transport robot includes at least one base element for the structure of the transport robot, at least two expansion modules for the technical equipping of the transport robot, at least one consignment box for receiving consignments, and at least one control device. The base element and each of the expansion modules have corresponding connecting elements and are electrically connected to one another by an electrical connection. The base element has at least one wiring harness for electrically connecting the connecting elements of the base element to one another, and the base element and the expansion modules are designed correspondingly to one another such that the connecting elements of the expansion modules are selectively connectable directly to at least two connecting elements provided at different points, so as to form one common connection to the base element.

    摘要: A method is disclosed in which sensor information is obtained that is captured by at least one environment sensor of an unmanned vehicle. The sensor information represents at least one object parameter of an object that is moving relative to the unmanned vehicle. At least partly based on the at least one object parameter, it is determined whether a collision between the unmanned vehicle and the object is imminent. If it is determined that a collision between the unmanned vehicle and the object is imminent, at least partly based on the at least one object parameter, at least one triggering parameter is determined for triggering at least one crash cushion of the unmanned vehicle. The at least one crash cushion is triggered according to the at least one triggering parameter. The at least one crash cushion is triggered before the imminent collision.
