Abstract: A method of moving an automated guided vehicle (AGV) to a target position relative to an object having two characteristic features, wherein the target position lies on a connecting line between the two characteristic features or is located at a distance from the connecting line. The method includes moving the AGV to a position where distances to the characteristic features can be determined; determining a first distance between the current position and the first characteristic feature, and a second distance between the current position and the second characteristic feature; automatically moving the AGV in translation with a superposed first rotation, wherein the direction of the first rotation depends on the first and second distances; and automatically moving the AGV in translation with a superposed second rotation, wherein the second rotation is opposite in direction to the first rotation. The steps are repeated until a termination condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A hydraulic unit for producing brake pressure for a hydraulic motor-vehicle brake system, including a main body, a cavity arranged in the main body and having at least one first bore segment with a defined target diameter, in which a cylindrical piston moveable in the axial direction is arranged, which, in the cavity, bounds at least one pressure chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid, for producing brake pressure in a brake circuit, and at least a first and a second sealing element for sealing off the cylindrical piston, which sealing elements are arranged at an axial distance from each other. In order to provide a hydraulic unit that can be produced more effectively and economically while the technical requirements nevertheless remain fulfilled, the material of the main body in a surface layer of an inner wall of the cavity in the bore segment has a material microstructure that is work-hardened.
