A transport and manipulation system has an activity area in which a provisioning device is arranged which includes takeover and handover stations. The activity area includes a working area in which static workstations for manually executing processing orders are arranged, and a travel area, in which autonomous transport vehicles can move. Each transport vehicle is configured for automatically picking up a load carrier at the takeover station according to a transport order, transporting the load carrier to a workstation and depositing the load carrier at the workstation, or picking up the load carrier at the workstation, transporting the load carrier to the handover station and depositing the load carrier at the handover station. The travel area includes first and second travel sections defining therein first and second travel speeds, respectively. The second travel speed is higher than the first travel speed. The second travel section is bounded against the first travel section, wherein transport vehicles can pass the boundary at a passing zone.

Transport and manipulation system and method for transporting load carriers

A robot system includes a robot having a gripping unit for picking and placing down/throwing goods, wherein the goods are differentiated into multiple types with respect to their dimensional stability, compressive stability, flexural rigidity, strength, their absolute weight and/or specific weight. When the goods are manipulated, the robot and/or the gripping unit are controlled depending on the type determined for the goods. Moreover, a method operates the robot system.

Robot system with motion sequences adapted to product types, and operating method therefor

An optimization method improves article pickup and discharge reliability in a picking process using a robot. An article is picked-up from or out of a first load carrier and is placed in or on or dropped into or onto a second load carrier by a gripping unit on the robot head. In an image processing step, a gripping pose for the gripping unit is calculated for picking-up the article by determining at least one dimension from a captured image and by determining a range allocation by comparing with dimension ranges. Using a confidence value, a dimension value is determined, from stored article reference data or from a normalization value of the dimension range and allocated to the determined dimension. In a preparation step, a mathematical scattering measure function is applied for the determined dimension and dimension ranges, and normalization and confidence values of the dimension ranges are determined therefrom.

Optimization method for improving the reliability of goods commissioning using a robot

A method for picking objects is specified, in which at least one object is removed from a source loading aid and placed into a target loading aid using a robot. After the operation of removing the object, a first sensor system of the robot is used to check whether at least one object is held by the robot. A number and/or a type of the at least one removed object is ascertained using the second sensor system. The operation of placing the at least one object into the target loading aid is aborted or modified if no object is held by the robot or the number and/or the type of the at least one removed object does not contribute to completing the picking order, which defines a desired number and/or desired type of objects in the target loading aid. Furthermore, a device and a computer program product for performing the presented method is specified.
