Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile robot manipulator system for handling railway inter box connectors for securement of shipping containers to the intermodal railcars, in a railway yard under an outdoor working environment, with a unique end-effector design incorporating at least two independently actuated and redundant grippers, supplemented by an additional aerial lift and aerial anchor to help stabilize the position of the movable base of the manipulator, a manipulator docking station to help protect the manipulator, end-effector, vision camera, and other sensitive equipment from damages against shock and under all weather conditions, and a sure grip methodology for safely transporting the railway inter box connector by the robot manipulator.
