Application examples for a free-moving solution
A free-moving application is a solution for automating transport or other tasks. Equipped with sensors and control systems, the vehicle navigates through the working environment and transports the load from one location to another. The vehicle uses various navigation methods such as laser scanners, cameras or magnetic strips to plan its route and avoid obstacles. An operator can manually control a vehicle using a keypad.
