A system for guiding an automated guided vehicle (AGV) is provided. The system includes a guidance path, an AGV, an image capturing apparatus and an operation unit. The guidance path guides the AGV. The AGV moves on the guidance path and is guided by the guidance path. The AGV moves in a vision guidance region after departing from the guidance path. The image capturing apparatus captures a vision guidance region associated image. The vision guidance region associated image at least includes an image of the vision guidance region. The operation unit determines whether the AGV departs from the guidance path, and calculates position information of the AGV in the vision guidance region. When the AGV departs from the guidance path, the operation unit guides the AGV according to the vision guidance region associated image.

System and method for guiding automated guided vehicle

A moving device and a moving control method thereof are provided. The moving control method comprises the following steps. Firstly, a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field are sensed by a moving device within a moving region. A first magnetic stripe generating the first magnetic field is arranged along an outer border of the moving region, and a second magnetic stripe generating the second magnetic field is arranged along an inner border of the moving region. Then, a motion mode is determined and a corresponding motion is performed by the moving device according to an order in which the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field are sensed.

Moving device and moving control method thereof

An encrypted code-generating module is configured to generate contest encrypted codes from contest codes of the racing pigeons through specific parameter calculations. A barcode converting module is configured to convert the contest encrypted codes into two-dimensional barcodes. A barcode reading module is configured to read the two-dimensional barcodes to obtain original contest encrypted codes. An information transmission module is configured to transmit the original contest encrypted codes to a computer apparatus. An information-receiving module is configured to receive the original contest encrypted codes. A barcode decoding module is configured to perform reverse calculations to restore the original contest encrypted codes to original contest codes. A comparison module is configured to compare the original contest codes with contest codes recorded in the computer apparatus.

Competition cheat-preventing system and method

An animal management system and scanning access device are disclosed. The scanning access device accesses RFID label disposed on/in animal body, and the information of the accessed RFID label is subsequently processed and transmitted to the animal management system via a communication transmission module for comparison. The scanning access device includes a first access module for accessing the RFID label disposed on/in animal body, an interface for the first access module to be coupled thereto and receiving the information of the RFID label accessed by the first access module, an input module for receiving operation message, a processing module for processing the information of the RFID label received by the interface and/or the operation message received by the input module, and a transmitting/receiving module for transmitting the processed information obtained from the processing module via the communication transmission module and/or receiving another information transmitted by the communication transmission module.

An obstacle and cliff avoiding system is disclosed, which is substantially a movable chassis having at least a displacement sensor arranged thereon. In a preferred embodiment, each displacement sensor is tilted by a specific angle with respect to a surface detected thereby while being driven to move in circle by a rotating apparatus for enabling the same to scan a defined fan-like area or the circular area around the chassis in a circulating manner. As each displacement sensor is tilted by the specific angle and is initiated to issue a working signal, the paths of signal emission and reception of each sensor are defined by the specific angle, whereas the reflected working signal received by the sensor is sent to a control unit to be compared with the working signal so that the control unit is able to evaluate whether there is an obstacle or a drop in front of the moving direction of the movable chassis and thus control the chassis to maneuver around the obstacle or the drop.

Obstacle and cliff avoiding system and method thereof

An omni-directional robot cleaner, composed of a platform and a plurality of driving units for driving and controlling the movement of the platform, in which the platform further comprises: a sensing unit, for obstacle detection; a cleaning unit, for collecting and removing dust and dirt; a processing unit, capable of receiving signals transmitted from the sensing unit while planning and mapping a travel path accordingly; and a power unit, for providing power to the omni-directional robot cleaner while managing the same. Moreover, each driving unit of the plural driving units is comprised of an omni-directional wheel and an actuator for driving the corresponding omni-directional wheel to rotate omni-directionally, by which the platform is enabled to move continuously while changing its moving direction simultaneously so as to free the robotic cleaner from the shortcomings of those conventional autonomous cleaner, such as poor maneuverability, poor mobility and insufficient degree-of-freedom regarding to the driving of the cleaner. Therefore, not only the operation mobility of the robotic cleaner is enhanced, but also the moving agility of the same is greatly improved.

A microimprint/nanoimprint uniform pressing apparatus is used to provide uniform imprinting pressure to a molding material layer between a substrate and a mold. The uniform pressing apparatus includes a uniform pressing unit for being directly in contact with the mold or the substrate, so as to allow each point to have equal pressure during imprinting and utilize a simple structure to transmit uniform imprinting pressure.

Microimprint/nanoimprint uniform pressing apparatus

A microimprint/nanoimprint device includes a mold, a substrate and an energy transferring module. The substrate is disposed oppositely to the mold and at least has a molding material layer. The energy transferring module includes an energy transferring member and at least one energy source, wherein the energy transferring member is connected to the substrate or the mold, and the energy source provides imprint energy to the substrate or the mold, such that at least part of the imprint energy goes through the energy transferring member to the substrate or the mold for performing imprint molding.

Microimprint/nanoimprint device

The present invention relates to a demolding method and device, being used for detaching a mold and a substrate after completing an imprinting process, in which the mold is forced to detach from the substrate partially and form a gap therebetween by inserting at least a blade module between the two, and thus, as air is sucked into the gap and the adhesion force of vacuum effect exerting between the mold and the substrate is eliminated, the blade module is further applied to detach the mold from the substrate completely.
