Abstract: A flexible material handling system for can handle varied loads and placements including operation in varying weather conditions, and integrates safety systems to tolerate pedestrians and manual vehicles in an operating environment. An autonomous vehicle is operable along a vehicle traversal path within a predetermined set of environmental conditions. A GPS base station is operatively in communication with the autonomous vehicle. A supervisor/orchestrator is operatively in communication with the autonomous vehicle and the GPS base station and is operative to coordinate movement of the autonomous vehicle along the vehicle traversal path and assign one or more tasks for the autonomous vehicle to accomplish.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided in which one or more environmental sensors collect data about an environment. An environmental hazard assessment module collects and analyzes data obtained by the environmental sensors to automatically identify, categorize, and/or rate the severity of potential environmental hazards. The hazards are provided to a user for a particular region of the environment or for a larger environment that includes multiple regions.
