• Treadbot multiple Bots transfer
quickly but do not move extremely fast
• Delta robots can do 160 picks per
minute
• Treadbot can reach 480 picks per
minute with less acceleration stress on the picked item than Delta robot
• Each tread Bot can function as
XYZ robot (pen plotter) using many motors
• Second option is for several
braking methods and fewer overall motors
• Bots can have multitude of
gripper types for picking various items
• Bots can unsnap from treads for
quick replacement
• Graceful degradation if one Bot
fails
• Number of Bots leads to true
mass production
• Can pick up from conveyor belt 30
in wide (more if willing to increase size)
• Can move items 3, 6, 9 feet or
more if needed. More modules can be added
• Throughput
rates are independent of distance traveled
