Patent number: 10274960Abstract: An automatic guided vehicle comprising a fork carriage with a fork, a propulsion drive system, a sensor to acquire position data of objects located in a detection field and a computer. The vehicle comprises a reference member located in the detection field of the sensor rigidly secured to a common rigid frame with the sensor. The sensor periodically acquires control position data indicative of a position of the reference member. The computer periodically compares the control position data with a reference value stored in a memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: BALYOInventors: Fabien Bardinet, Pierre Bureau

Patent number: 10222808Abstract: An inspection system for a storage facility including an automatic guided vehicle with a bidimensional positioning system, an unmanned aerial vehicle with a measurement sensor, a position control system to maintain the unmanned aerial vehicle above the automatic guided vehicle, an altitude sensor to acquire a relative vertical distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the automatic guided vehicle, and a communication system to transmit the measurement data to a remote server. The inspection system transmits to the remote server a set of tridimensional coordinates associated with the measurement data comprising horizontal coordinates function of the bidimensional location of the automatic guided vehicle on the floor of the storage facility and a vertical coordinate function of the relative vertical distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respect to the automatic guided vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: BALYOInventors: Fabien Bardinet, Pierre Bureau

Publication number: 20170269613Abstract: An inspection system for a storage facility comprising an automatic guided vehicle with a bidimensional positioning system and an unmanned aerial vehicle with a measurement sensor to acquire measurement data. The inspection system further comprises a position control system to maintain the unmanned aerial vehicle above the automatic guided vehicle in the vertical direction, an altitude sensor to acquire a relative vertical distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the automatic guided vehicle, and a communication system to transmit the measurement data to a remote server. The inspection system transmits to the remote server a set of tridimensional coordinates associated with the measurement data comprising horizontal coordinates function of the bidimensional location of the automatic guided vehicle on the floor of the storage facility and a vertical coordinate function of the relative vertical distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respect to the automatic guided vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: BALYOInventors: Fabien Bardinet, Pierre Bureau

Patent number: 9448062Abstract: A method for determining reference elements of an environment, the method comprising at least the steps of: providing a ceiling value and a floor value; measuring, using a distance-measuring sensor, a set of environment point positions, each position comprising at least a first coordinate along a first direction and a second coordinate along a second direction non collinear with the first direction; determining reference elements of the environment comprising position of the set of environment point positions whose second coordinate is strictly smaller than the ceiling value and strictly higher than the floor value, and whose distance to the distance-measuring sensor, taken along the first direction, is a highest distance in a set of distances of environment points to the distance-measuring sensor, said distances being taken along the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Balyo S. A.Inventors: Olivier Garcia, Thomas Duval, Raul Bravo
