    摘要: An apparatus, system and method capable of providing a stabilizing drive system for a robotic vehicle. The apparatus, system and method may include at least a robot body base; at least two drive wheels within the robot body base; a processing system having non-transitory computing code associated therewith which, when executed by the processing system, causes to be driven the at least two drive wheels; and a plurality of ball casters within the robot body base, wherein the ball caster are positioned relative to the robot base and to the at least two drive wheels so as to lower a center of gravity of the robot and provide stabilization of the driving.

    摘要: An apparatus, system and method of operating an autonomous mobile robot having a height of at least one meter. The apparatus, system and method may include a robot body; at least two three-dimensional depth camera sensors affixed to the robot body proximate to the height, wherein the at least two three-dimensional depth camera sensors are both directed toward a major floor surface from the affixation and, in combination, comprise an at least substantially 360 degree field of view of the major floor surface around the robot body; and a processing system for receiving of data within the field of view from the at least one three-dimensional depth camera sensor, detecting the presence of a plurality of AR tags on the upper surface of the charging base, calculating a virtual alignment point associated with the center of the robot docking connector, calculating a virtual alignment point associated with the center of the charging base docking connector, and outputting a path of travel between the center of the charging base docking connector and the center of the robot docking connector, whereby a physical connection is made.

    摘要: An apparatus, system and method capable of providing a bumper capable of providing decreasing reversionary impact forces upon an impacting collider as the bumper is compressed. The apparatus, system and method may include at least a bumper cover; and a scissor mechanism housed within the bumper cover. The scissor mechanism may comprise a forward extension member proximal and having a parallel axis that is at least substantially parallel to a parallel tangential axis of the bumper cover; a rear extension member substantially parallel to the forward extension member, and distal from the flexible bumper; at least left and right long scissor members that are rotatably and slidably associated with respective slots in the forward extension member, and that, are rotatably associated with the rear extension member; and at least left and right short scissor members that are rotatably associated with the front extension member, and that are rotatably associated with a respective one of the left and right long scissor members.
