Continuous track or tracked treads are a system of vehicle propulsion used in tracked vehicles, running on a continuous band of treads or track plates driven by two or more wheels. The large surface area of the tracks distributes the weight of the vehicle better than steel or rubber tyres on an equivalent vehicle, enabling continuous tracked ...
Track technology is an industrial material handling system which uses linear motors to move material along a track. It has been variously termed a smart conveyance system, intelligent track system, industrial transport system, independent cart technology, smart carriage technology, linear or extended or flexible transport system, or simply a conveyor or conveyance platform [citation needed].
An automated guided vehicle (AGV), different from an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), is a portable robot that follows along marked long lines or wires on the floor, or uses radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation. They are most often used in industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial ...
What those little Olympic track-and-field robots do. The little cars are, in fact, recovery robots used to transport thrown objects (e.g. discus, javelins, hammers) back to where they belong after ...
Researchers at the MITComputer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) developed a system called MapLite, which allows self-driving cars to drive with simple maps. The system combines the GPS position of the vehicle, a "sparse topological map" such as OpenStreetMap (which has only 2D road features), with sensors that observe road ...
In 2021 Robotic Research's commercial arm, RR.AI, raised $228 million to continue development on its level 4 self-driving system which can be applied to Class 8 trucks and yard trucks. [ 80 ] In the past, Robotic Research has partnered with the U.S. Army and Navy to create autonomous trucks that are able to work in areas that are not on maps ...
The system could also alert authorities, the patent said. The filing is an apparent response to a recurring issue for robotaxi companies operating in busy urban areas such as San Francisco or Phoenix.
The CMU URANUS Mobile Robot [5] was the first mobile robot with Mecanum wheels built in 1985 and was used for two decades for autonomous navigation research. [6] CMU's "Tessellator" robot, [7] designed in 1992 for servicing Space Shuttle tiles, also used Mecanum wheels. [8] A wheelchair using Mecanum wheels was presented at the 2006 EVER Monaco ...
