    摘要: A method for managing trips from a pharmacy may include receiving a plurality of transaction records that, as received, represent an independent transaction of a plurality of transactions at an ADC. The plurality of transaction records may include: time information between respective transactions and an elapsed time for a portion of the plurality of transactions. The method may include identifying, based at least in part on: (i) a comparison of the time information between respective transactions and a threshold inter-transaction trip time; and (ii) a comparison of the elapsed time for the portion and a threshold elapsed trip time, a sequence of the portion as a unique trip from a pharmacy. The method may include annotating, with an identifier for the unique trip, a portion of the plurality of transaction records representing the portion of the plurality of transactions. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

    摘要: A control system according to the present disclosure performs system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot that is autonomously movable and operable by a user. The mobile robot includes at least one light-emitting unit. The system control includes mode switch control of switching between an autonomous movement mode and a user operation mode, and the light emission control of controlling the light-emitting unit to emit light in different light emission patterns associated with a plurality of predetermined conditions. The light emission control includes controlling the light-emitting unit to emit light in different light emission patterns, for at least one of the predetermined conditions, depending on whether the mobile robot is in the autonomous movement mode or the user operation mode.

    摘要: A system and a method for an autonomous mobile robot to ride and co-share an elevator with human(s) are disclosure. The core software modules and method proposed include a human detection and localization module, a human identification and state estimation module, a human-robot-interaction module, and an elevator confined space positioning module. Upon an elevator riding task is started, the human detection and localization module and the human identification and state estimation module detect and count the at least one human inside and/or outside the elevator, and the human-robot-interaction module interacts with the at least one human. The elevator confined space positioning module carries out a space positioning inside the elevator according to a result of detecting and counting the at least one human through the human detection and localization module and the human identification and state estimation module, and chooses to enter the elevator or restart another elevator riding task.

    摘要: An autonomous moving system according to the present disclosure includes a control unit executing control of movement of an autonomous moving body, including collision control, a setting unit setting a predetermined defense space around the autonomous moving body, for executing the collision control, and a classifying unit classifying an obstruction detected by a detecting unit installed in the autonomous moving body, and an obstruction detected by a detecting unit installed in a facility space through which the autonomous moving body moves. The setting unit changes a range of the defense space to a first range based on a result of the classifying unit classifying the obstruction detected by one of the detecting units, and changes the range of the defense space from the first range to a second range based on a result of the classifying unit classifying the obstruction detected by at least another of the detecting units.

    摘要: An autonomous moving system according to the present disclosure is an autonomous moving system including an autonomous moving body that moves autonomously. The autonomous moving system includes a control unit that executes control of movement of the autonomous moving body including collision control, a setting unit that sets a defense space around the autonomous moving body, for executing the collision control, a detecting unit that detects obstructions in a vicinity of the autonomous moving body, and a classifying unit that classifies obstructions that are detected. The setting unit changes a range of the defense space, based on the obstructions that are classified by the classifying unit, and the control unit executes control of movement of the autonomous moving body including the collision control in at least one of when the obstruction is inside the defense space and when the obstruction is predicted to enter the defense space.
