The present disclosure provides an "interlocked reconfigurable modular locker". A modular robotic system is provided that can be configured to accommodate parcels of different sizes. A modular robot may include a base with omnidirectional wheels and cameras and sensors, one or more modular containers, and a lid that are releasably linked together to form a small, medium, or large unit. The base, the one or more modular containers, and the lid may be electrically linked to provide information to be used in various ways. For example, electrical links may allow two or more modular robots to communicate with each other, cause external displays of multiple modules to act as a large unit, control movement of the drawer, e.g., allow it to open/close, and allow a processor in the cover to communicate with the drive system of the omnidirectional wheels. A set of alternating interlocking rails and rails on corresponding surfaces enable the layers of the modular robot to interlock with each other. Interlocking of multiple modular containers may be established by sliding one surface over the other. These segments may be used to create modular robots of different sizes.
本公开提供了“联锁的可重新配置的模块化储物柜”。提供了一种可以被配置为容纳不同尺寸的包裹的模块化机器人系统。模块化机器人可包括具有全向轮和相机以及传感器的基座,一个或多个模块化容器以及盖子,其可释放地链接在一起以形成小型、中型或大型单元。基座、一个或多个模块化容器和盖子可电链接以提供要以多种方式使用的信息。例如,电链接可允许两个或更多个模块化机器人彼此通信,使多个模块的外部显示器充当一个大型单元,控制抽屉的运动,例如允许其打开/关闭,以及允许在盖子中的处理器与全向轮的驱动系统通信。在对应表面上的一组交替的联锁导轨和轨道使得模块化机器人的各层能够彼此联锁。可通过将一个表面在另一个的上方滑动来建立多个模块化容器的联锁。这些部段可用于创建不同尺寸的模块化机器人。
