A patent application by the inventor Kalouche, Simon (San Francisco, CA, US), filed on October 2, 2023, was made available online on January 25, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to Nimble Robotics Inc. (San Francisco, California, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present disclosure generally relates to storage systems and inventory retrieval methods, and more particularly, to a storage system and a mobile, manipulator robot for retrieving inventory items from the storage system. “Warehouses, or distribution fulfillment centers, require systems that enable the efficient storage and retrieval of a large number of diverse products. Traditionally, inventory items are stored in containers and arranged on rows of shelving on either side of an aisle. Each container, or bin, holds a plurality of items of one or more product types. The aisles provide access between the shelving for an operator or robot to migrate the aisles and retrieve the items. It is well understood that the aisles reduce the storage density of the system. In other words, the amount of space actually used for the storage of products (e.g., the shelving) is relatively small compared to the amount of space required for the storage system as a whole. As warehouse space is often scarce and expensive, alternative storage systems that maximize storage space are desired.
