  • Patent number: 12287627
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling movement of an e-pallet includes one or more sensors configured to obtain sensor data as to a user of the e-pallet, a second e-pallet, or both; and a processor coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to at least facilitate: determining, using the sensor data, a relative position of the user, the second e-pallet or both, with respect to the e-pallet; determining, using the sensor data, a relative orientation of the user, the second e-pallet or both, with respect to the e-pallet; and taking a control action for the e-pallet, in accordance with instructions provided by the processor, based on both the relative position and the relative orientation.

  • Publication number: 20240345582
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the likelihood of rollover for an e-pallet are provided. The systems include one or more cameras configured to obtain camera data as to a user of the e-pallet, and a processor coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to at least facilitate determining, using the camera data, a relative orientation of the user, determining an e-pallet vertical vector based on the camera data and a user vertical vector based on the relative orientation of the user, determining a bank angle of the e-pallet based on the e-pallet vertical vector and the user vertical vector, and taking a control action for the e-pallet, in accordance with instructions provided by the processor, based on the bank angle.
