Abstract
A mobile vehicle includes a controller, the controller executing program instructions to implement operations including moving the mobile vehicle from an exterior of a target to an interior of the target in response to determining that the mobile vehicle is separated from a second mobile vehicle; driving a transportation component of the mobile vehicle to receive a first cargo from the second mobile vehicle, wherein the second mobile vehicle is located at an exterior of the target; and moving the mobile vehicle away from the interior of the target so that the first cargo is placed in the interior of the target.
Claims18
A mobile vehicle, comprising a controller, the controller executing program instructions to implement operations comprising:
- moving the mobile vehicle from an exterior of a target to an interior of the target in response to determining that the mobile vehicle is separated from a second mobile vehicle, wherein the target is a carriage;
- driving a transportation component of the mobile vehicle to receive a first cargo from the second mobile vehicle, wherein the second mobile vehicle is located at an exterior of the target;
- and
- moving the mobile vehicle away from the interior of the target so that the first cargo is placed in the interior of the target,
- the operations further comprising:
- moving the mobile vehicle toward a first direction at a first speed away from the interior of the target, and driving the transportation component to rotate toward a second direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed and the second speed are the same and the first direction and the second direction are opposite, so that there is substantially no lateral displacement of the first cargo relative to a bottom of the target during separation of the mobile vehicle from the first cargo.
A control method of a mobile vehicle, the mobile vehicle comprising a controller, the controller being configured to execute program instructions to implement operations comprising:
- moving the mobile vehicle from an exterior of a target to an interior of the target in response to determining that the mobile vehicle is separated from a second mobile vehicle, wherein the target is a carriage;
- driving a transportation component of the mobile vehicle to receive a first cargo from the second mobile vehicle, wherein the second mobile vehicle is located at an exterior of the target;
- and
- moving the mobile vehicle away from the interior of the target so that the first cargo is placed in the interior of the target,
- the operations further comprising:
- moving the mobile vehicle toward a first direction at a first speed away from the interior of the target, and driving the transportation component to rotate toward a second direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed and the second speed are the same and the first direction and the second direction are opposite, so that there is substantially no lateral displacement of the first cargo relative to a bottom of the target during separation of the mobile vehicle from the first cargo.
A controller, the controller being configured to execute program instructions to implement operations comprising:

- driving a transportation component of the mobile vehicle to receive a first cargo from the second mobile vehicle, wherein the second mobile vehicle is located at an exterior of the target;
- and
- moving the mobile vehicle away from the interior of the target so that the first cargo is placed in the interior of the target,
- the operations further comprising:
- moving the mobile vehicle toward a first direction at a first speed away from the interior of the target, and driving the transportation component to rotate toward a second direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed and the second speed are the same and the first direction and the second direction are opposite, so that there is substantially no lateral displacement of the first cargo relative to a bottom of the target during separation of the mobile vehicle from the first cargo.
