Mapping system for material delivery system including autonomous mobile robot for generating and updating a facility map for distribution to load-bearing autonomous mobile robots

Abstract

A mapping system for a facility includes a data center including a transceiver and a server. A mapping autonomous mobile robot (AMR) includes a perception sensor, a motor, a steering actuator, and a transceiver. A controller includes an autonomous driving module configured to navigate the mapping AMR in the facility. A mapping module is configured to receive sensed data from the perception sensor and to generate map data to generate or update a facility map. The transceiver of the mapping AMR is configured to transmit the map data to the transceiver of the data center and M load-bearing AMRs, where M is an integer greater than one. The M load-bearing AMRs include a perception sensor, a motor, a steering actuator, a transceiver configured to receive the facility map from the transceiver of the data center, and a controller including an autonomous driving module configured to navigate using the facility map.
