Bot position sensing |
摘要 |
A storage and retrieval system including a storage structure having storage shelves, each storage shelf having slats for supporting stored items where the slats are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, an autonomous transport vehicle including at least one sensor configured to sense each of the slats and output a signal indicating when a slat is sensed, and a controller for verifying a location of the autonomous transport vehicle within the storage structure based on at least the output signal. |

1. A storage and retrieval system comprising:
a storage structure having storage shelves, each storage shelf having slats for supporting stored items where the slats are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; an autonomous transport vehicle including at least one sensor configured to sense each of the slats and output a signal indicating when a slat is sensed; and a controller for verifying a location of the autonomous transport vehicle within the storage structure based on at least the output signal and configured to compare a location of the autonomous transport vehicle at a time the slat is sensed with a predetermined location of the slat and updating a verified location of the autonomous transport vehicle if the locations substantially coincide. |
