MOBILE FIXTURE APPARATUSES AND METHODS

A system of coordinated mobile fixtures for moving an object across a floor involves a plurality of mobile fixtures, each having its own controller operably coupled to a movable base, support platform, and at least one sensor on the mobile fixture. An attachment member is connected to the object and...

Zusammenfassung:	A system of coordinated mobile fixtures for moving an object across a floor involves a plurality of mobile fixtures, each having its own controller operably coupled to a movable base, support platform, and at least one sensor on the mobile fixture. An attachment member is connected to the object and the mobile fixtures are configured to concurrently engage respective different portions of the attachment member by corresponding adapter interfaces This couples the mobile fixture to each other via the attachment member. The controller of each mobile fixture autonomously controls movement of the corresponding at least one of the movable base or support platform responsive to a corresponding detected force and/or movement that is associated with movement of the attachment member, to thereby coordinate movement of the corresponding mobile fixture with respect to the other mobile fixtures, without the mobile fixture communicating movement commands to the other mobile fixtures. Il est décrit un système dappareils mobiles coordonnés pour déplacer un objet sur le sol, lequel système comprend une pluralité dappareils mobiles, chacun étant doté de son propre contrôleur en raccord fonctionnel avec une base mobile, une plateforme de support, et au moins un capteur sur lappareil mobile. Un élément de fixation est raccordé à lobjet et les appareils mobiles sont conçus pour sinsérer simultanément dans des sections différentes respectives de lélément de fixation au moyen des interfaces dadaptateur correspondantes. Cela couple les appareils mobiles les uns aux autres à laide de lélément de fixation. Le contrôleur de chaque appareil mobile contrôle de façon autonome le mouvement de lappareil mobile correspondant à au moins la base mobile ou la plateforme de support en réponse à un mouvement et/ou à une force détecté correspondant qui est associé au mouvement de lélément de fixation, de façon à coordonner le mouvement de lappareil mobile correspondant relativement aux autres appareils mobiles, sans que lappareil mobile communiquant le mouvement commande aux autres de faire de même.
