摘要: A storage array system including an open undeterministic transport surface, a navigation array disposed in connection with the transport surface, the navigation array includes a distributed feature, a first waypoint at a first position of the distributed feature, a second waypoint displaced from the first waypoint along the distributed feature and offset with respect to the first waypoint in a direction angled to the distributed feature, and a guided bot, arranged to traverse the transport surface, with a non-holonomic steering system, the guided bot having a bot pose determination system employing sensor data detecting the distributed feature, wherein the guided bot includes a controller configured to generate a substantially smooth curved bot traverse path on the transport surface connecting the first and second waypoints with a predetermined optimal trajectory of the guided bot along the traverse path determined based on a bot dynamic model.

摘要: An autonomous transport vehicle, for transporting items in a storage and retrieval system, includes a frame, a controller, at least two independently driven drive wheels mounted to the frame, and at least one caster wheel mounted to the frame and having a castering assistance motor that engages the at least one caster wheel so as to impart castering assistance torque to the at least one caster wheel assisting castering of the at least one caster wheel. The controller is communicably connected to the castering assistance motor and configured to effect via a combination of vehicle yaw, generated by differential torque from the at least two independently driven drive wheels, and castering assistance torque from the castering assistance motor, castering of the at least one caster wheel with the autonomous transport vehicle in motion with a predetermined kinematic state.
