?說到倉儲AGV大家一定都知道有一個叫做KIVA機器人的公司，后來被亞馬遜收購了。而且KIVA機器人不賣給亞馬遜以外的客戶。
??想一想就讓大家氣憤，想買還不賣。隨著中國崛起，電商發達了。什么淘寶、京東、蘇寧、國美等等電商崛起，都想使用KIVA機器人。但是KIVA多少錢都不賣。
??國內AGV企業也發覺到KIVA這種AGV確實很適合電商模式，工作效率高、單車成本低等等。國內AGV企業開啟仿照模式。因此國內很多AGV企業開始設計出自己的倉儲AGV。并投入到實際應用中。
??今天咱們不談倉儲AGV的二維碼導航技術、也不談一個AGV控制系統運行多少臺AGV，也不說單車運行速度快慢等技術問題。
?? 我想說說隨著國際化，很多國內AGV廠商慢慢地想把倉儲AGV出口到國外，因此大家最好研究一下下面的內容，再考慮一下出口。
??亞馬遜申請了很多專利
??關于亞馬遜在相應國家專利情況。
??USA: Yes, Amazon/Kiva has a very broad patent US 6,895,301 in USA on goods-to-man with rack storage. A deal needs to be made with Amazon to enter the USA market.
??Canada: Unknown
??Europe: There are specific patents, listed below. There are also other Patents pending, which we advice to design around, as well as keeping a watch on, in order to prevent future lawsuits.
??以下是亞馬遜KIVA機器人技術專利情況。
??Rack rotation during travelling. EP 2 933 763 A1, EP 2 849 968 A1, CN 104364121 A
??"Second positioning", i.e. if the vehicle is stopping inaccurately, it can reverse a little bit and try again. EP 2 038 716 B1

??看到這里，大家還是好好地研究一下KIVA機器人，否則出口了，很容易遭受法律起訴呀。
??或者你想出口倉儲AGV，你首先與KIVA達成協議。
