Abstract
This disclosure relates to system and method for docking or undocking a track-wheel based device. In some embodiments, the system may include a docking station configured to be fitted on a support track for the track-wheel based device. The docking station may include a protrusion to be fitted at a first position on the support track. The protrusion may be configured to make the track-wheel slide on the support track against the protrusion until an indentation on the track-wheel engages with the protrusion upon alignment. The system may further include an end-dock to be fitted at a second position on the support track. A segment of the support track between the first position and the second position is configured to accommodate the track-wheel during docking.
Claims7
A method of docking or undocking a track-wheel based device, the method comprising:
- causing, by a device drivetrain of the track-wheel based device, a track-wheel to slide on a support track against a protrusion, configured on the support track at a first position, until an indentation on the track-wheel aligns with the protrusion, wherein the indentation is configured to engage with the protrusion upon alignment;
- and
- causing, by the device drivetrain, the track-wheel to engage with the protrusion and further roll over the protrusion upon alignment.
