AUTONOMOUS TRUCK LOADER AND UNLOADER

摘要

An autonomous device (100) for loading and unloading trucks (10) comprises a mobile body (120), a robot arm (140) and a body conveyor system (130) to convey cartons (12) during loading and unloading. A manipulator (142) attaches to a moveable end of the robot arm and is maneuverable within the tight confines of the truck. The manipulator picks up a row of articles (15) at a first location (16) and places the row of articles down at a second location (17). The manipulator is reconfigurable to match to both locations.
