Abstract: A linear transfer system for a collaborative robot includes a linear bearing extending along a linear axis. A carriage on the linear bearing moves along the linear axis and supports a collaborative robot. One or more load cells are supported on either axial end of the carriage. A motor causes movement of the carriage along the linear axis under the control of a motor control circuit. The circuit receives input signals indicative of forces applied to the load cells. During a programming mode for the system, the circuit may generate control signals for the motor causing movement of the carriage along the linear axis corresponding to the forces applied to the load cells. During an operating mode of the system, the circuit may detect collisions by comparing the forces to a threshold and generating control signals to halt movement of the carriage if a predetermined condition is met.

Abstract: A conveyor belt lifting mechanism which includes an L-shaped arm, a telescopic arm, and a supporting shaft and an online operation and maintenance robot for a pipe belt conveyor are provided. One end of the L-shaped arm is rotatable, an axial direction of a rotating shaft is parallel to a conveying direction of a conveyor belt, the telescopic arm is slidably connected to the other end of the L-shaped arm, and the telescopic arm extends and retracts in an extension direction of the L-shaped arm. A universal rotary driving portion is connected to an end of the telescopic arm, the supporting shaft is fixed to an output end of the universal rotary driving portion, and two supporting rollers are arranged on the supporting shaft. An included angle between rotating shafts of the two supporting rollers is the same as that between two adjacent idlers in the pipe belt conveyor.

Abstract: A repositionable riser is provided. The repositionable riser may be used in connection with a robotic arm deployed in a workspace. The repositionable riser includes a riser having one or more mounting locations at or near an upper end of the riser configured to fixedly mount an equipment on the riser, a lateral translation subsystem comprising a carriage on which the riser is mounted and a set of one or more elongated structures that define a constrained lateral path along which the carriage is movable, the path including a first end associated with active use of the equipment and a second end not associated with active use of the equipment, and an anchor structure to which one or both of the carriage and the riser are configured to be coupled to secure the riser at the first end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a two-layer three-rail planar robot with a parallelogram, including a fixed platform, a moving platform, and three branched chains. Three planar curved rails I are provided on the fixed platform. Three planar curved rails II are fixedly connected to the moving platform. Each planar curved rail I is connected to a planar curved rail II corresponding to the planar curved rail I by one of the branched chains. Each of the branched chains includes a slider I, two connecting rods provided in parallel, a slider II. The slider I is slidably connected to the planar curved rail I. The slider I is rotatably connected to one end of each connecting rod by a revolute pair I, the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the slider II by a revolute pair II. The slider II is slidably connected to the planar curved rail II.

Abstract: Embodiments provide shelves, bracket systems, automated picker robots, totes, and other features that may be used with delivery vehicle configurations that have automated cargo areas. A delivery vehicle may include a picking robot that selectively retrieves packages for delivery without requiring substantial human intervention for locating those packages. The cargo area of the delivery vehicle may further comprise a plurality of customizable shelving units that generate custom-sized shelves for packages. The shelves may include a plurality of individually movable shelf brackets having retaining members that pivot between an extended and retracted position to hold the package in place and to enable the picking robot to retrieve the package from the shelf. Another embodiment provides for a tote having a drive mechanism to hold letters so that a letter may be automatically retrieved from the cargo arear and provided at a delivery location.
