Description

Application for application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Law. Website posting date: September 29, 2024. Website address: https://gekkou.ai/amrs/ This invention relates to an interconnected transport robot comprising a first transport robot and a second transport robot. Patent Document 1 describes a plurality of carts, each configured to be movable in all directions by driving a plurality of omni wheels mounted below it, and equipped with a mounting section above it for placing at least a part of the object to be transported; a self-information acquisition means provided on each cart for acquiring self-information such as its current speed of movement, current position and direction (including its current relative position and direction to the master described later when it is a slave described later); a master control means provided on one cart among the plurality of carts that is pre-set as the master (hereinafter referred to as "master"), which transmits a master control signal to the drive unit of each omni wheel of the master to start or stop the master and controls the operation of each omni wheel of the master; and a master for controlling one or more carts other than the master that are set as slaves (hereinafter referred to as "slave") A transport cart system is disclosed, characterized by comprising: a slave instruction signal transmitting means that wirelessly transmits a slave instruction signal to the slave (referred to as "B") to instruct it to start or stop, approximately simultaneously with the transmission of the master control signal to the drive unit of each omni-wheel of the master; an external control means provided in the slave that controls the operation of each of its omni-wheels based on the slave instruction signal transmitted from the master; a broadcast transmission means provided in each cart that periodically wirelessly broadcasts its own information to other carts; a broadcast receiving means provided in each cart that receives information about other carts (self-information) broadcast from other carts; and an autonomous control means provided in each cart that autonomously controls the operation of each of its omni-wheels based on its own information and information about other carts (self-information of other carts) broadcast from other carts.
