Abstract: An adjustable housing for a light sensor includes a biasing spring and an adjustment screw or cam shaft or other rotary means to adjust the sensor against the spring biasing force. In some embodiments, a detent mechanism can retain the sensor in a desired position and provide an audible click during adjustment. The housing can have a free-floating wall such that when tightening or locking the assembly in place, the wall does not deform and therefore does not affect the sensor alignment.

Abstract: An inventory system includes an inventory holder and an actively balanced mobile drive unit. A control module of the mobile drive unit can receive sensing information about the inventory holder and/or the mobile drive unit and use the sensing information to control a drive module of the mobile drive unit so as to maintain the inventory holder and/or the mobile drive unit within a predetermined deviation amount from an equilibrium state.
