Abstract: A robot-enabled method of picking cases in a warehouse is provided. A robotic vehicle includes a load platform and a robotic order selector, and has access to an electronically stored representation of a warehouse. The representation includes a map that defines aisles for storing items arranged as pick faces within the warehouse. A pick list is generated from an order; the pick list provides identifications of items to be picked to fulfill the order. A plurality of stops at pick faces associated with the items is determined. A route within the map is generated that includes the plurality of stops. The robotic vehicle iteratively guides itself along the route and automatically stops at each of the plurality of stops to enable robotic loading of at least some of the items from the pick list onto the load platform.

Abstract: A robot-enabled method of picking cases in a warehouse is provided. A robotic vehicle includes a processor configured to access a memory, a user input device, an output device, and a load platform, and has access to an electronically stored representation of a warehouse. The representation includes a map that defines aisles for storing items arranged as pick faces within the warehouse. A pick list is generated from an order; the pick list provides identifications of items to be picked to fulfill the order. Determined from the pick list is a plurality of stops at pick faces associated with the items. A route within the map is generated that includes the plurality of stops. The robotic vehicle iteratively guides itself along the route and automatically stops at each of the plurality of stops to enable loading of the items from the pick list onto the load platform.

Abstract: A multi-plane scanner support system includes a bracket and a mirror block. The bracket is configured to be secured in a fixed orientation with respect to a scanner. And the mirror block is arranged to receive a scanning signal from the scanner and to reflect the scanning signal into a plurality of directions to create multiple scanning planes. The scanner can be a laser scanner. The scanner and multi-plane scanner support system can be attached to a material transport vehicle, for example, to provide safety functions. The vehicle can be manned or unmanned.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, provides is a auto-navigating vehicle, that include a payload portion configured to hold or pull a payload, a drive system configured to cause the vehicle to drive, stop, and steer, the drive system including drive controls that enable a non-remote operator to drive the vehicle from an operator area proximate to the drive controls, a sensor head configured to detect information indicating the absence and presence of objects in an environment, a navigation system operatively coupled to the drive system and sensor head and configured to auto-navigate the vehicle through the environment without operator drive control. The sensor head is oriented above the drive controls and between the drive controls and payload portion, such that the sensor head is substantially out of a field of view of an operator when in the operator area.
