Design Concept
MobED delivery is an innovative compact mobile platform combining a sliding cabinet with the DnL (Drive and Lift) module. The DnL module integrates drive, steering, and braking into a single eccentric wheel mechanism. This unique design allows MobED delivery to dynamically adjust its body inclination and height for seamless movement and gentle delivery of goods.
Unlike conventional delivery robots that solely prioritize “movement” to the destination, MobED delivery delivers an experience that goes beyond ‘movement’ by “soft dropping” packages with utmost care. The cabinet can position itself closer to the ground using the eccentric wheel’s mechanism, facilitating a smoother and gentler descent of items.
As a result, MobED delivery can deliver items unmanned non-face-to-face, such as apartment entrances or office desks unattended by recipients, significantly enhancing efficiency and expedience in delivery services as recipients do not need to venture outside to receive items.
Function
MobED delivery is designed to overcome obstacles in diverse environments, such as narrow corridors, crowded spaces, and elevators. To tackle these obstacles effectively, MobED delivery is ingeniously designed to adjust the position and orientation of its various components, including the chassis, wheels, and joints. This adaptability allows it to traverse different terrains with varying elevations effortlessly.
In congested indoor spaces like busy sidewalks or elevators, the wheelbase can be minimized to reduce interference with pedestrians while ensuring the secure transportation of goods to their intended destinations. The LED displays at the front and rear sides of the robot enable pedestrians to discern the direction in which it is moving. Additionally the display at the top allows users to monitor the robot’s status or destination in various situations.
Users have the convenience of booking delivery services via smartphone, eliminating the need to visit a package delivery office or stockroom. With the robot’s ability to drop off items directly to a spot, whether in front of a door or at a desk’s side section, users can receive their items promptly without waiting for the robot.
