Patents
Most of my projects have required the development of innovative designs, which has enabled me to fill many patent applications for my inventions. The majority of my patents are in robotics and mechanical engineering, and some include designs created as part of my PhD research.
Two-wheel automatic guided vehicle
The patent describes the design of a two-wheeled AGV/AMR for warehouse or automotive factory operations. The robot consists of a metal welded or cast aluminium frame, two motors with integrated controllers, mechanical braking systems, a battery module and a central coupling unit. This robot can move loads by itself (balancing) or can be combined with other robots or tools.
The emergency braking system for a mobile robot
Certification of collaborative wheeled robots involves a system that guarantees an emergency braking stop. This patent describes a system that uses the inner surface of the wheel disc as the brake drum, and the brake pads are driven by stored energy in the springs. In an emergency, the release mechanism releases the cable that keeps the springs compressed and provides the necessary braking force to the wheels.
Two-wheel automatic guided vehicles used in combination
This patent describes possible combinations of wheeled robots for transporting various payloads. It illustrates different types of platforms and synchronised control in a combination of two to four robots. Shown delivery platforms mostly have predefined shapes, but a few have adjustable geometry controlled by the AGV/axle position.
Hitch connection mechanism for automatic guided vehicles
This patent describes an automatic coupling mechanism that, by using a shaped PU insert, automatically adjusts the compression force and stiffness of certain degrees of freedom depending on the weight of the load to be transported.
Storage System And Associated Platform Feeder
This application describes the operation of an automatic platform storage and cargo redistribution system. The system can automatically remove the load from the AMR and transfer it to the required cell in the warehouse.
Wireless Battery Charging System For AGV
This patent describes a wireless charging prototype for AMR placed in storage and loading areas. This drip charging system does not require precise positioning, and the robot can extend its operational cycle during loading, unloading or waiting.
Lifting apparatus supported by two-wheel automatic guided vehicles
This application describes the operation and design of a prototype logistics platform capable of changing its height by positioning AMR axles.
Method for creating cargo-carrying platforms used with automated guided vehicle
This application describes the technology for manufacturing logistics platforms for predetermined shipments. The resulting manufactured platform is mounted on two or more AMRs and has particular geometry patterns for safe cargo transportation.
Wedge freewheel clutch
This patent describes an invention made as part of my PhD research and describes the construction of a developed freewheel clutch. This freewheel clutch uses movable wedges of unique geometry made by additive technology.
Wedge freewheel clutch with hydraulic stabiliser
This is the second invention patent as part of my research on freewheel clutches. It describes a different hydraulic system for controlling the position of the moving coupling wedge.
Motorcycle suspension swingarm with adjustable stiffness
RU2801402 C1
The patent describes the design of a motorcycle suspension swingarm with adjustable stiffness. The stiffness can be adjusted without the swingarm disassembly or removal by turning the profiled shafts.
