Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for autonomously loading cargo into a vehicle. Cargo is stacked into a storage apparatus of an autonomous mobile robot in a pre-loading configuration based on a predetermined loading configuration. A signal is received indicating a location of the vehicle to be loaded with the cargo. The robot autonomously navigates to the location of the vehicle. The robot scans one or more fiducial marks located on a first piece of cargo in the storage apparatus with an imaging sensor, wherein the fiducial marks are configured to communicate one or more manipulation points of the first piece of cargo when scanned. The robot manipulates the first piece of cargo at the manipulation points and loads the first piece of cargo into the designated area of the vehicle. The robot repeatedly scans and manipulates a next piece of cargo until a predetermined amount of cargo has been loaded into the designated area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a data acquisition system. An image capture device is configured to capture image data, where the captured image includes data associated with the image, where the pixel data includes visible light pixel data and non-visible light pixel data. A fiducial locator is configured to identify an area of interest of the image based on fiducials in the image detected through analysis of the non-visible light pixel data. An image processor is configured to extract data from the area of interest of the image based on the visible light pixel data while ignoring other portions of the image.
