Abstract
A robotic platform is configured to transport a cup. The robotic platform includes a rack housing that has a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a plurality of cup slots configured to accommodate the cup. At least one drop detection sensor and at least one obstacle avoidance sensor are mechanically coupled to the rack housing. An integrated circuit is electrically coupled to a battery, the at least one drop detection sensor, and the at least one obstacle avoidance sensor, a first geared motor and a second geared motor. The geared motors are attached to wheels. The integrated circuit is programmed to determine if a sensor has a data above set point, and then executing a move path.
Claims5
A robotic platform, configured to transport a cup;
- the robotic platform comprising:
- a rack housing, further comprising:
- a top side and a bottom side;
- wherein the top side further comprises a plurality of cup slots configured to accommodate the cup;
- at least one drop detection sensor and at least one obstacle avoidance sensor, mechanically coupled to the rack housing;
- wherein the at least one drop detection sensor is configured to determine whether the robotic platform is proximate a drop point from which the robotic platform could drop;
- an integrated circuit, electrically coupled to a battery, the at least one drop detection sensor, and the at least one obstacle avoidance sensor;
- a first geared motor, mechanically coupled to the rack housing and a first wheel;
- wherein the first wheel extends through the bottom side;
- wherein the first geared motor is electrically coupled to the integrated circuit;
- a second geared motor, mechanically coupled to the rack housing and a second wheel;
- wherein the second wheel extends through the bottom side;
- wherein the second geared motor is electrically coupled to the integrated circuit;
- wherein the integrated circuit is programmed to:
- iteratively perform these following steps until a data above set point is obtained:
- checking each sensor for a data point;
- and
- comparing the data point to the data above set point;
- execute a move path from a move library stored on the integrated circuit to engage the first geared motor and the second geared motor.
