Abstract
High payload autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are described. The AMRs may include a tiller rotatable about multiple axes. permitting manual operation of the AMR. The AMRs may further comprise a homing module configured to return the tiller to a default orientation about the second axis. for example when an operator stops using the tiller.
Claims20
A high payload autonomous mobile robot, comprising:
- a body;
- a rotatable coupler coupled to the body;
- a tiller configured to rotate relative to the body around a first axis and a second axis, wherein the tiller is coupled to the body by the rotatable coupler and configured to rotate around the first axis through action of the rotatable coupler;
- a tiller head coupled to the tiller and having a wider footprint than the tiller;
- and
- a homing module coupled between the body and the rotatable coupler and configured to return the tiller to a default orientation about the second axis.
3 more elements
A high payload autonomous mobile robot, comprising:
- a body;
- a controller configured to operate the high payload autonomous mobile robot in an autonomous mode;
- a tiller configured for use in a manual mode of the high payload autonomous mobile robot;
- and
- a homing module coupled to the body and configured to return the tiller to a default rotational orientation relative to the body in the autonomous mode.
2 more elements
A high payload autonomous mobile robot, comprising:
- a body;
- a tiller having a first end coupled to the body and a second end having a handle, the first end being opposite the second end;
- a rotatable coupler coupling the tiller to the body;
- and
- means for restoring the tiller to a default rotational orientation relative to the body.
