Abstract:

We have developed an automated transport system for construction sites, manufacturing plants, and distribution warehouses, such as an automated transport trolley, an automated transport forklift, and a transport management system. It can be instructed by a tablet to make a delivery and it can move autonomously along a given route by self-localization using LiDAR. In addition, a camera sensor can recognize the pallet or roll box pallet for loading and unloading. We have operated the automated transport trolley in construction sites and tested the automated transport forklift in distribution warehouses. In this paper, we report on the transport system and the result of operation and testing.
