Abstract

This application provides a carrying device, a transport robot, an inventory method, and an inventory system. The transport robot includes a carrying device. The carrying device includes: a bracket; a tray, mounted to the bracket and configured to place goods; a weight detection device, configured to detect a weight of the goods placed on the tray; and a retractable arm assembly, configured to push the goods placed on the tray out of the tray or pull the goods to the tray. Compared with the prior art, the weight detection device is arranged on the tray of the carrying device to detect the weight of the goods placed on the tray. The quantity of the goods may be determined according to the weight of the goods. Therefore, the low goods carrying efficiency due to manual goods inventory is avoided.
