Abstract: A method and a system for deep learning-based perception are disclosed. The method includes obtaining input data using a plurality of cameras and a plurality of sensors, the input data including a plurality of images and a plurality of sensor data and training, using a machine learning algorithm, a trunk-head machine learning model. Further, the method includes generating an intermediate representation data using the trunk-head machine learning model and determining a plurality of information recognized in the intermediate representation data using the trunk-head machine learning model and based on the obtained input data. A configuration of a forklift is adjusted based on the determined plurality of information.

Abstract: A method and a system for a tail-adjacent pallet picking are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a geometry of a ramp, where the ramp operatively connects a trailer floor to a warehouse floor associated with operation of an autonomous forklift and obtaining data comprising a location of the tail-adjacent pallet and a location of pallet pockets of the tail-adjacent pallet. Further, the method includes determining, based on the geometry of the ramp and the obtained data, an inserting trajectory of forks and determining a configuration of the forks of the autonomous forklift based on the inserting trajectory. The forks of the autonomous forklift are inserted into the pallet pockets of the tail-adjacent pallet based on the determined configuration of the forks and the tail-adjacent pallet are extracted based on an extraction trajectory and associated configuration of the forks of the autonomous forklift.

Abstract: A forklift autonomous operation system is disclosed. The forklift autonomous operation system includes a forklift having a load handling system, the load handling system including a mast and a plurality of forks and a camera, coupled to the load handling system, for obtaining visual input data of an environment. Further, the system includes a plurality of sensors coupled to the forklift for obtaining sensor data and a control system configured to process the visual input data and the sensor data.
