The present invention relates to a brake control device and a robot including same. A robot according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a normal power-supplying unit for supplying electric energy required to move and operate the robot; a brake module for braking or unbraking a motor that moves the robot; an emergency power-supplying unit which receives and stores electric energy from the normal power-supplying unit, and supplies the stored electric energy to the brake module when the supply of the electric energy from the normal power-supplying unit is cut off; and a control processor which applies, to the brake module, a signal for controlling the supply of the electric energy, and controls the movement and operation of the robot.

Device of brake controlling and robot including thereof

A method of sensing a loaded state of articles in a storage bin and a robot implementing the method are provided. The robot senses a loaded state of articles received in the storage bin in real time or at regular intervals and includes the storage bin and storage bin sensors disposed outside the storage bin. The storage bin sensors are arranged at a non-parallel angle relative to a side surface of the storage bin.

Method of sensing loaded state and robot implementing thereof

A handle assembly for a cart with a power assist function can sense the direction that a user's force is applied, and provide assist power in the corresponding direction, such that the user can easily move the cart. A cart including the handle assembly allows the user to conveniently move the cart.

Handle assembly for cart with power assist function and cart having the same

Provided are a handle assembly for a cart having a power assist function, and a cart in which the power assist function enables a user to easily move the cart by detecting a direction, in which a force of the user is applied, to assist power in the relevant direction. According to the handle assembly and the cart, the user can easily move the cart by detecting the direction, in which the force of the user is applied, to provide auxiliary power (a power assist function) in the relevant direction, thereby improving convenience of the user.

A robot may perform emergency stopping. The robot includes: a driving device configured to perform movement of the robot; a stop switch configured to output a stop switch signal; a controller configured to output a stop signal; and a stop circuit configured to output a first control signal and a second control signal for stopping the driving device. The stop circuit may output the first control signal and the second control signal in response to the stop signal and the stop switch signal.

Emergency stop of robot

A power supply device that supplies power to multiple carts, a cart, and a method for charging such cart are provided. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the power supply device that supplies the power to the multiple carts calculates charging allocation of carts based on priorities of the carts to control charging of the carts.

Power supply device supplying power to multiple carts, cart, and method for charging cart

A basket assembly for receiving goods therein; a main body coupled to a bottom of the basket assembly to support the basket assembly; a handle assembly installed on one side of the main body; a wheel assembly rotatably coupled to a bottom of the main body to move the main body in a direction in which a force is applied to the handle assembly; and a battery installed inside the main body for supplying electrical energy to the wheel assembly.

Cart robot with automatic following function

Provided is a transmitting device for a cart with an auto following function, which can sense the position and moving path of a user and move while following the user. The transmitting device for a cart provides a sensing and communication function such that the cart with the auto following function can sense and follow the position of the transmitting device. Thus, the cart can sense and follow the position of the transmitting device. Furthermore, since the transmitting device for a cart can be conveniently worn like a watch, a user's convenience can be improved.

Transmitting device for cart having auto following function

Provided is a cart robot having a charge function, which includes: a main body having a container in which goods are contained, a handle assembly installed on one side of the container, a battery module, and a battery management system (BMS) module for managing charge and discharge of the battery module; wheel assemblies rotatably coupled to a lower portion of the main body, and configured to move the main body in a direction of a force applied to the handle assembly; and an external charge module (CM) having a front connector provided on a lower front side of the main body and a rear connector provided on a lower rear side of the main body, electrically connected to an external power supply through the front or rear connector and configured to charge the battery module.
