Abstract
A warehouse robotic system includes a picker robot, including a mobile base, an environment sensing system, a communications system and at least one manipulator. The picker robot can also include an object sensing system. The robotic system also includes a control system, including a communications system and a robot controller which communicates with the picker robot and is connected to an associated warehouse inventory system. The picker robot is adapted to maneuver to a first location, retrieve at least one associated object from the first location, transport the at least one associated object to a second location and place the at least one associated object at the second location. The system can also include a carrier robot and a storage container.
