  • Publication number: 20220100192
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-guided handling apparatus comprising a means for detecting obstacles which comprises a telemetry means arranged at the top of a mast (2). The telemetry means comprises a first laser (4) performing a 360° horizontal scan with an opening of ±15° relative to the horizontal plane, and at least a second laser (3) having an opening of ?15° to ?80° and performing a scan of at least 270°, the detection means comprising a processor using the cluster of telemetric points to detect the obstacles and control the change in the displacement of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10274960
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10222808
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170269613
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20110218672
    Abstract: The invention relates to a robot comprising storage means designed to store at least one computer program which, when executed, causes the robot to act according to a particular behavior, characterized in that it comprises loading means able to load, from remote computer equipment, a computer program which, when executed, causes the robot to act according to a particular behavior, and saving means able to save the duly loaded computer program in said storage means. Said loading means are designed to transmit a load request to the remote equipment to initiate the loading of the computer program from the remote equipment. The robot comprises at least one memory for storing evolution parameters, and the loading means are also designed to transmit the request according to the evolution parameters.
