Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“The present disclosure relates generally to robotic storage and retrieval systems, and more particularly, toa robot designed to swap rechargeable battery modules with a charging station.“Warehouses, or distribution fulfillment centers, require systems that enable the efficient storage andretrieval of many diverse products. Traditionally, inventory items are stored in containers and arrangedon rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container holds a plurality of items of one or moreproduct types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for an operator or robot to migrate the aislesand retrieve the items. It is well understood that the aisles reduce the storage density of the system. Inother words, the amount of space used for the storage of products (e.g., the shelving) is relatively smallcompared to the amount of space required for the storage system as a whole. As warehouse space is oftenscarce and expensive, alternative storage systems that maximize storage space are desired.
