According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Semi-Autonomous Mobile Rover for Automated Storage and Retrieval Applications Abstract The present invention relates to a semi-autonomous mobile rover (10) for automated storage and retrieval applications in industrial environments. The system comprises a mobile rover (10) supported by wheel assemblies (14) and driven by motor and drive circuitry (26), controlled through a control system (24). A path recording and playback module (22) enables manual teaching of navigation routes via an operator control unit (20), followed by autonomous repetition of the recorded paths. The rover (10) is further equipped with a mechanical pick-and-place arm (18) having an end effector (16) for material handling operations. Vision markers (12) are used for positional referencing, and an adaptive path correction module (30) enhances navigation accuracy by compensating for deviations. A power supply unit (28) provides energy to all subsystems. The invention offers a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable alternative to conventional fixed automated storage systems."
