    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a combination of a pallet truck and a sled for delivering goods from a truck into a building, a method for making an in-building delivery of palletized loads from a truck, and a dual-use, half-size pallet that can be carried by either the pallet truck or the sled. The pallet truck is shaped and sized to nest with the sled by comprising an alignment feature configured to mate the sled with the pallet truck. The pallet truck is shaped, sized, and constructed to lift the sled along with at least two palletized loads of goods. The pallet truck is also shaped and sized to fit within a bed of a truck. The sled comprises an alignment feature compatible with the alignment feature of the pallet truck, and a lifting mechanism shaped, sized, and constructed to lift at least one of the palletized loads of goods.

    Abstract: This application describes systems, devices, computer readable media, and methods for the function and operation of robotic carts. A robotic cart may include a base component configured for the receipt of a payload, a battery unit, and a mobility apparatus. The robotic cart may include a handlebar component coupled with the base component. The handlebar unit may include a sensor unit configured to transmit a hand detection message when the handlebar unit is grasped by one or more hands and to transmit a force direction message indicating a two-dimensional direction associated with a directional force applied by one or more hands. The robotic cart may be configured to map the area around it and to autonomously move the robotic cart along a path to perform a task.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes a hydraulic actuator configured to move an implement relative to the chassis, a hydraulic motor configured to propel the vehicle, a drive pump fluidly coupled to the hydraulic motor, a charge pump configured to provide a flow of pressurized fluid, and a valve assembly fluidly coupled to the charge pump. The valve assembly is configured to (a) direct a first portion of the flow of pressurized fluid to the drive pump, the first portion of the flow having a first flow rate and (b) direct a second portion of the flow of pressurized fluid to the hydraulic actuator, the second portion of the flow having a second flow rate. The valve assembly includes a valve element that is configured to vary at least one of the first flow rate or the second flow rate based on a pressure at a position upstream of the valve element.

    Abstract: A control device is for a mobile machine that is provided in a mobile machine configured to automatically move. The control device includes a target object information acquisition unit that acquires a detection result of a direction of a target object; a region setting unit that sets a prohibited region through which a trajectory of the mobile machine is prohibited from passing, from the direction of the target object; a trajectory setting unit that sets a trajectory from the mobile machine to a target position where the mobile machine is in a predetermined position and direction with respect to the target object such that the trajectory does not pass through the prohibited region; and a movement control unit that moves the mobile machine based on the trajectory.

    Abstract: A stocker crane includes a drive motor configured to operate a wheel, a motor encoder connected to the drive motor, an external encoder connected to a timing belt, and a controller connected to the drive motor, the motor encoder, and the external encoder, in which the controller is configured to instruct the drive motor to move a position of the stocker crane, identify a command position based on information on a first rotational speed received from the motor encoder, identify a movement position based on information on a second rotational speed received from the external encoder, and control an operation of the drive motor based on a deviation between the command position and the movement position. A method of operating a stocker crane is also provided.
