    摘要: The disclosure provides a vehicle approach notification device and a picking truck. The vehicle approach notification device includes a first illumination portion provided on a cab capable of elevation; a second and a third illumination portion provided on a vehicle body incapable of elevation; and a control unit that (1) turns on the first illumination portion and off other illumination portions when a travel state of the vehicle body is backward travel and an elevation position is lower than a predetermined threshold value; (2) turns on the second illumination portion and off other illumination portions when the travel state is backward travel and the elevation position is equal to or higher than the threshold value; (3) turns on the third illumination portion and off other illumination portions when the travel state of vehicle is forward travel; and (4) turns off all illumination portions when the travel state is travel stop.

    摘要: A pallet detection device comprises: a point cloud acquisition unit configured to acquire point cloud data indicating a point cloud measured by a two-dimensional distance measurement device on a depth map; a straight line detection unit configured to detect a straight line corresponding to a front surface of a pallet based on the point cloud in a region presumed to include the front surface of the pallet in the point cloud data; a line segment detection unit configured to detect a line segment indicating the front surface of the pallet based on the straight line; and a position/orientation acquisition unit configured to acquire position and orientation of the pallet based on the line segment. The straight line detection unit acquires one or more straight line candidates as candidates for the straight line, assigns, for each of the one or more straight line candidates, a score to the point cloud so that points in front of the straight line candidate at a specified distance or more are assigned with a score with a constant whose priority in selection is lower than the rest of points, and selects the straight line from the one or more straight line candidates based on a score accumulated value obtained by accumulating the score for the point cloud in the region presumed to include the front surface of the pallet.

    摘要: An industrial vehicle includes a vehicle body, a head guard provided in the upper portion of the vehicle body, and a lighting device provided on the head guard and illuminating a space in front of the vehicle body. The lighting device is provided with a light illuminating the space in front of the vehicle body and brackets removably attached to a pipe of the head guard. The light is attached to the bracket so as to be positioned below the pipe and positioned beside or behind a front pillar of the head guard.

    摘要: A transport vehicle capable of detecting the position of a surrounding object without detecting the shape itself is provided. The transport vehicle includes a point group acquisition unit and an edge specifying unit. The point group acquisition unit acquires a point group PG by horizontally irradiating cargo loaded on a cargo loading unit and an object around the transport vehicle with light. The edge specifying unit analyzes the acquired point group PG using a frequency distribution with distances in left-right and front-rear directions as axes, and specifies sections S1, S2, S3, and S4 with frequencies, adjacent to an area with substantially no frequency, as positions of edges in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction of the cargo and the object around.

    摘要: The initial setting method for the unmanned forklift includes a step of acquiring a measurement value of floor surface inclination of a stop position where the unmanned forklift stops when the unmanned forklift unloads a palette on a rack, a step of setting the stop position where a predetermined inclination pattern is detected, as a precise adjustment position, from the acquired measurement value, a step of causing the unmanned forklift to unload the palette in accordance with an operation program, and measuring a deviation amount of the palette unloaded by the unmanned forklift, at the precise adjustment position, and a step of correcting a command value of the unmanned forklift at the stop position, based on the measured deviation amount.
