This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "A jack may be attached to an autonomous mobile robot so that the mobile robot can be programmed and tasked to perform payload lifting via the jack and payload transportation automatically. However, the jack has wheels for linear motions, which are not designed for moving together with the mobile robot. Some efforts to resolve this include replacing such wheels with unidirectional wheels but there are practical issues such as the unidirectional wheels are not designed for the jack, and those available in the market may not be able to take the weight of a loaded jack."
