Vehicle end-of-line testing with an autonomous conveyor transport system

An end-of-line task system for evaluating a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a plurality of bays, wherein each bay includes a plurality of task stations and a task execution system configured to execute one or more software-based tasks;
• a conveyor system extending between the plurality of bays and configured to transport the vehicle to and from the plurality of bays, wherein the conveyor system includes:
• a linear platform extending between the plurality of bays;
• and
• a set of rotating platforms provided at a set of bays from among the plurality of bays wherein the rotating platform is operable to move the vehicle to a station from among the plurality of stations, and
• a task and vehicle management system comprising:
• a station module configured to collect data from each of the task stations and to determine whether each of the task stations is available to receive the vehicle;
• an assignment module configured to:
• obtain a task request for the vehicle to perform a task, and
• assign the vehicle to a selected bay from among the plurality of bays and to a selected task station from among the plurality of task stations of the selected bay based on availabilities of the task stations and the task request;
• and
• a transport module configured to operate the conveyor system to transport the vehicle to the selected bay.

An end-of-line task system for evaluating a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a plurality of bays, each including a plurality of task stations and a task execution system configured to execute one or more software-based tasks;
• a task and vehicle management system configured to obtain a task request, and assign the vehicle to one of the bays based on the task request and to one of the task stations in the one of the bays based on availabilities of the task stations in the one of the bays;
• and
• a conveyor system configured to transport the vehicle to and from the plurality of bays, the conveyor system including a rotating platform disposed in each of the plurality of bays, the conveyor system transporting the vehicle to the one of the bays and then to the one of the task stations via the rotating platform in the one of the bays.
