  • Publication number: 20230297100
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes at least one sensor and a communications system configured to receive one or more remote operations commands. The vehicle system further includes control system configured to execute a speed control system to control a speed of the vehicle system. The control system is further configured to execute an automatic adjustment teleoperations system to derive a filtered speed command based on the one or more remote operations commands and the at least one sensor, and to adjust the speed of the vehicle system based on the filtered speed command.

  • Patent number: 11427121
    Abstract: A vehicle can include a base assembly, a rack assembly, and a processing system. The base assembly can include a platform, a plurality of wheels and a motor for driving at least one of the plurality of wheels. The rack assembly can include a storage shelf connected to the base assembly through a coupling, which includes a bearing assembly enabling the storage shelf to rotate with respect to the platform. The processing system can be configured to communicatively couple with the rack assembly and include one or more processors configured to: determine a location of a target good; cause the storage shelf to move based on the determined location.

  • Publication number: 20190302783
    Abstract: A control system of a work vehicle system includes a controller that includes a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to determine a route from a current location of a work vehicle to a destination based, at least in part, on a map of a work area. Further, the controller is configured to output one or more control instructions indicative of a travel path for the work vehicle from the current location to a target object at the destination. In addition, the controller is configured to determine whether the route includes one or more obstacles not included on the map of the work area based, at least in part, on a first signal received from a sensor assembly.

  • Patent number: 6777053
    Abstract: Process for the production of a multilayer coextrudate with a plastic layer that has release properties with respect to adhesives, where the materials producing the release properties are located within the plastic layer, where a first web is provided in production of the coextrudate on one side of which a layer of adhesive is located, after which the plastic layer with the release properties follows, which is in turn bonded to a second web. A multilayer coextrudate is characterized by the fact that at least two plastic films are provided, between which a layer of adhesive and a further layer that has release properties with respect to the adhesive are located.
