Abstract
A robotic vehicle is capable of operating in an autonomous mode such that it can move and/or activate a lifting mechanism to lift or deposit a pallet (or similar platform) which may carry a load. The robotic vehicle may be in communication with one or more operator terminals. A signal from an operator terminal may cause the robotic vehicle to switch from the autonomous mode to a remote control mode, such that the robotic vehicle can be controlled through the operator terminal.
Claims10
A robotic vehicle comprising:
- a body, the body comprising a support area adapted to receive a load;
- a drive means configured to move the autonomous mobile robot on a surface;
- a lifting mechanism;
- control means configured to,
- i) control the drive means in an autonomous drive mode;
- and
- ii) control the lifting mechanism to move a load to or from the support area of the body;
- and
- a network interface to receive signals from a control device, wherein, in use, the signals received from the control device are processed by the control means to control the actions of the autonomous mobile robot accordingly.
