Abstract

Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for movement of rectangular prisms in a multi-dimensional space are provided.

Claims (41)

1 - 574 . (canceled)

575 . A modular superstructure comprising a smart rack for transporting a rectangular prism, the smart rack comprising:

an arm assembly comprising a retractable arm, wherein the retractable arm comprises an attachment point;

a corner hub positioned above the arm assembly; and

a protective chain housing at least one cable, wherein the at least one cable is connected to the attachment point and the corner hub.

576 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the smart rack further comprises:

a lead screw socket component secured to a lead nut of a lead screw; and

a base tail component secured to a movable base of the arm assembly, wherein the base tail component engages with the lead screw socket.

577 . The modular superstructure of claim 576 , wherein the base tail component is secured to the movable base through screws.

578 - 580 . (canceled)

581 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the retractable arm is secured to the smart rack via a movable base, wherein the smart rack further comprises a conveyor disposed on a top surface of the retractable arm.

582 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , further comprising a motor actuation device, wherein the motor actuation device comprises:

a first clutch defining a first clutch bore and comprising a first clutch housing, wherein a rotating shaft is secured through the first clutch bore;

a first bevel gear defining a first bevel gear bore, wherein the first clutch housing optionally engages with the first bevel gear bore; and

a second bevel gear in an orthogonal arrangement with the first bevel gear and engaging with the first bevel gear.

583 . The modular superstructure of claim 582 , wherein, when the first clutch housing engages with the first bevel gear bore, the first clutch transfers a rotating motion from the rotating shaft to the first bevel gear.

584 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the rectangular prism comprising at least one magnetic conductive rail, wherein at least one magnetic core is housed within the at least one magnetic conductive rail, wherein the smart rack comprises an outer frame rail, wherein the outer frame rail comprises a plurality of electrometric coils.

585 . The modular superstructure of claim 584 , wherein the outer frame rail comprises a plurality of outer frame protrusions defining a plurality of outer frame grooves.

586 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , further comprising:

a motor controller; and

a first multiplexer electronically coupled to the motor controller and a first motor driver.

587 . The modular superstructure of claim 586 , wherein the motor controller transmits a plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals to one or more data input ports of the first multiplexer.

588 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , further comprising a rack frame, wherein the rack frame defines an X-direction, a Y-direction that is orthogonal to the X-direction, and a Z-direction that is orthogonal to the X-direction and the Y-direction, wherein the rack frame comprises:

a plurality of rack beams; and

a wheel pack positioned adjacent to a first rack beam of the plurality of rack beams, the wheel pack comprising:

a wheel comprising:

a hub that is configured to rotate on a wheel axis; and

a plurality of rollers, each roller being rotatably coupled to the hub and configured to rotate on a roller axis, wherein each roller axis is substantially orthogonal to the wheel axis; and

an electric motor configured to rotate the hub of the wheel on the wheel axis.

589 . The modular superstructure of claim 588 , further comprising a support that is coupled to the first rack beam, wherein the support comprises a flange that extends in the Z-direction, and wherein the wheel pack is positioned on the flange.

590 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , further comprising a rack frame, wherein the rack frame comprises a plurality of lights that are each configured to receive an electrical signal from a light controller, wherein the light controller is configured to control each of the plurality of lights based at least in part on at least one property of a sound.

591 . The modular superstructure of claim 590 , wherein the at least one property of the sound is an amplitude of the sound.

592 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the smart rack further comprises:

a plurality of rack plates comprising a top rack plate and a bottom rack plate;

an asymmetrical guide rail secured between the top rack plate and the bottom rack plate; and

a movable base comprising at least one roller, wherein the at least one roller engages with the asymmetrical guide rail.

593 . The modular superstructure of claim 592 , wherein the at least one roller engages with the asymmetrical guide rail through at least one spring.

594 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the rectangular prism defines a plurality of compartments, wherein the plurality of compartments is configured to support a plurality of objects within the rectangular prism.

595 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the rectangular prism comprises a collapsible tote configured to fold in on itself.

596 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , wherein the rectangular prism comprises a transparent tote, wherein the transparent tote comprises plastic material.

597 . The modular superstructure of claim 575 , further comprising a display providing a two-dimensional interface configured for creating a three-dimensional voxel model corresponding to the smart rack.
