摘要: A system can have a database that stores a plurality of behaviors for various operational phases of an autonomous truck. The stored behaviors can include predetermined maneuvers for the autonomous truck, sensing behaviors, and logic behaviors. An operator can select one or more of the stored behaviors via a user interface. A controller can control the autonomous truck to perform the selected behaviors, for example, by assembling the selected behaviors together into an operation script. In some embodiments, performance of the selected behaviors can be used to load the autonomous truck.

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: A forklift stows a cargo on a loading surface. The loading surface is an upper surface of a loading platform. The forklift includes an external sensor configured to detect a position of an object, and processing circuitry. The position of the object is represented by a point cloud that is a set of points. The processing circuitry is configured to extract points that represent the loading platform, extract, from the points that represent the loading platform, points that represent an edge of the loading platform, detect a straight line that represents the edge from the points representing the edge, extract points that represent an object mounted on the loading platform, and detect, as a stowage position on which the cargo will be stowed, a position that is separated from the mounted object by a prescribed distance in a direction in which the straight line extends.

摘要: A forklift capable of recognizing a state on a front side even when holding a pallet is provided. A forklift includes: a fork movable in a height direction; a distance sensor held by the fork to be relatively movable with respect to the fork in the height direction, the distance sensor measuring a distance to an object existing in a forward direction; and a restriction mechanism restricting a movement of the distance sensor in a downward direction of the height direction when the fork is placed within a first height range from a floor surface to a first height. The distance sensor is: placed at a storage position spaced from the floor surface when restricted by the restriction mechanism; and placed at a measurement position lower than a lower surface of a pallet held by the fork when the fork is placed within a second height range equal to or higher than the first height.

摘要: A mover control method includes decision processing and control processing. The decision processing is the processing of determining whether or not a mover that is carrying an object thereon is going to deviate from a traveling route, through which the mover, as well as the object, is allowed to pass. The control processing (first control processing) is the processing of controlling the mover based on a result of the decision processing.

摘要: According to the embodiments described herein, system and methods for determining relative pose of materials handling vehicles in an industrial environment may include utilizing ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array systems respectively mounted on the materials handling vehicles to send mutually received information to determine the relative pose between the vehicles, determining one or more fields of each materials handling vehicle, and determining one or more overlapping fields between the materials handling vehicles based on the determined one or more fields and the relative pose. A vehicle control may be implemented based on the determined relative pose and the overlapping fields as a field enforcement, such as a control action to avoid collision between the vehicles.
