Mobile robots for industrial use

Abstract

The free roving robot in the form of a computer controlled industrial truck is now technically possible. The use of small on‐board computers and navigation aids frees the robot from dependence on fixed route marking. Conventional vehicles such as fork lift trucks may be modified for autonomous or semi‐autonomous control.
