LoadRunner is a warehouse robot designed and developed by the Fraunhofer Logistics Research Institute. By linking two pieces of cardboard and 30 kg of luggage, you can move long packaging and move around the warehouse quickly with a top speed of 36 km/h depending on the weight of the cargo.
Because the speed comes out that much, the robot applies a sudden brake when unloading and uses the physical labor of sliding the loaded cargo to the delivery site. It can be important that the roadrunner is quickly and efficiently protected by a product tightly packaged in a fully corrugated box.
As roadrunners move fast, they are giving robots intelligence to avoid collisions. Similar to the behavior of a flock of birds that receive flight direction signals nearby, the Roadrunner is equipped with sensors that track the position, speed, and direction of the surrounding robots. Correct the trajectory to avoid accidents. This method eliminates the need to install central control systems and expensive sensor devices for monitoring in warehouses.
Each robot is equipped with a camera that shoots 400 images per second, and accordingly, it can accurately measure its direction and position. Perhaps it also supports the shape or signs painted on the floor. The biggest advantage is that the existing facilities can be easily upgraded without having to build an existing infrastructure for millions of dollars like conveyor belts. This can be done by cleaning the floor, clearing up obstacles, and just painting lines on the floor. Related information can be found here.
