    Abstract: The invention relates to a device delimiting a hoisting device with at least two forks when picking up a transport load with at least one recess for the insertion of the forks with the hoisting device, wherein the device has a fastening means by which the device can be reversibly fastened to the forks, the device has a rear stop and the device is designed to limit the insertion depth when inserting the forks into the recess in an operational state by having the rear stop rest against the transport load in an inserted state. In this way, a possible way is provided of positioning the transport load on the hoisting device precisely and efficiently in terms of time that is both easy to handle and can also be used flexibly.

    Abstract: The high-position robot includes a pallet fork; an image collector and a distance sensor are arranged on the pallet fork; the image collector is configured to collect positioning information provided on a target stock container and obtain image data representing a positional relationship between the pallet fork and a projection image of the positioning information on a specified plane; and the distance sensor is configured to measure a distance between the pallet fork and a target stock container and obtain distance data. After a pallet fork lifts a storage container to be placed up to a same height as a target layer of a target stock container, adjusting and controlling a positional relationship between the pallet fork and a projection image of positioning information on a specified plane; and adjusting and controlling a distance between the pallet fork and the target stock container according to distance data.

    Abstract: Described is a safety device for a self-propelled industrial vehicle movable in an operating space, including: a measuring group, configured to detect depth data, representative of a distance, from the measuring group, of bodies arranged in the operating space; an additional measuring group, configured to detect image data, representative of an image of bodies arranged in the operating space; a control unit, connected to the measuring unit and to the additional measuring unit to receive the depth data and the image data. The control unit is programmed to compare the image data with reference image data, for classifying the bodies into predetermined categories. The control unit is programmed for associating to each body a corresponding predetermined category and a corresponding value of distance from the self-propelled vehicle.

    Abstract: A transfer device includes a holder that holds an article, and a self-propelled cart that supports the holder and travels. The self-propelled cart includes a wheel and a wheel drive source that drives the wheel, and the self-propelled cart travels along a traveling path provided on an elevation unit and a delivery device. The delivery device includes a positioning portion that positions the elevation unit while the elevation unit is at a transfer height, and a delivery-side guide that guides travel of the self-propelled cart along the traveling path. The elevation unit includes an elevation-side guide that guides travel of the self-propelled cart along the traveling path, and the elevation-side guide is arranged so as to be continuous with the delivery-side guide while the elevation unit is positioned by the positioning portion.

    Abstract: Material handling of packed goods on pallets, roller cages within facilities is in huge volumes and consumes lot of operators' time and efforts. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an autonomous payload handling apparatus (APHA) that addresses the above material handling process by automating with an intelligent modular robotic platform. The APHA includes fork assemblies that slides alongside of the pallet for better balance over payload and maintains smooth navigation. The fork assemblies equipped with contact/vision sensors that enable APHA to determine whether there is any offset or any contact between surfaces of APHA and/or pallet. The fork assemblies capture sensor data of surrounding object(s) during navigation, size of payload, and pallet, etc. The captured sensor data enables the APHA to correct its offset and/or compute a mode of approach (e.g., navigating angle, deviating from obstacle(s), sliding through pallet/roller cages, and the like) to handle payload(s).
