Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for foldable containers for manual and robotic use. In one embodiment, an example foldable container may include a first container wall, a second container wall configured to rotate outwards in a first direction with respect to the first container wall, and a bottom container platform configured to rotate outwards in a second direction with respect to the first container wall. The bottom container platform may include an automatic locking mechanism configured to engage with the second container wall when the foldable container is in an unfolded position, where the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Some embodiments may include a number of wheels. The foldable container may be configured to be transported using (i) the plurality of wheels via manual pushing, and (ii) robotic manipulation to lift and move the foldable container.

Abstract: Motion controls for a mobile drive unit adjust linear acceleration for laden mobile drive units to decrease the likelihood of the payload tipping or bouncing off the mobile drive unit and adjust angular acceleration to reduce the risk of the drive wheels slipping while the casters align with the direction of travel.

Abstract: Autonomous mobile robots having vertical height extension systems for augmented visibility may include a drive mechanism, a lift mechanism, and a vertical height extension including an extension mechanism and a vertical indicator. The vertical height extension may be actively or passively actuated between lowered and raised positions. In addition, the vertical height extension may include a breakaway feature to prevent raising or cause lowering of the vertical indicator in the presence of a payload above the robot. Further, the vertical height extension may include various actuators, emitters, or elements to communicate various attributes of the robot to human associates in proximity, thereby promoting safe, collaborative operations.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for identifying a relative rotation between a rotary unit and a base unit in a drive unit, receiving a command that changes the relative rotation when the command is executed by the drive unit, determining that rotating at least one of the base unit or the rotary unit in a first direction in response to the command results in the relative rotation exceeding a maximum rotation value, and rotating at least one of the base unit or the rotary unit in a second direction opposite the first direction while executing the command. In one example, the drive unit may include cables that transfer power and control signals from the base unit to the rotary unit. Determining whether executing the command results in the relative rotation exceeding the maximum rotation value can ensure the cables are not damaged.
