New method of using mobile robots for implementing warehouse operations

The new patented method of movements of packaged cargoes at the warehouse is proposed in this article. The proposed method of loading is superior in economic efficiency, reliability, cheapness, simplicity of construction and use, to all other methods of loading implemented by robots. The method allows the mobile robot to load a cargo which is three times as heavy as this mobile robot, wherein almost no electrical energy is consumed during loading. In implementing the method, two mobile robots are used, each of which contains a mobile platform, an omnidirectional mobile wheel-type mechanism and a transport suspension with independent suspension for each wheel. Actually, mobile robots help each other to load cargo on the first mobile robot, through robot cooperation. Loading of the container with the load on the first mobile robot is carried out by actuating a two-arm lever, which is carried out through the impact of the bottom of the mobile platform of the second mobile robot on the longer arm of the two-arm lever by lowering the mobile platform of the second mobile robot due to the operation of the transport suspension of the mobile platform of the second mobile robot. For example, if the length of the longer arm of the two-arm lever is three times longer than the shorter arm of the two-arm lever then the second mobile robot of weight 50 kg is capable of loading a container with a load of weight 150 kg on the first mobile robot.
