Visually guided vehicle

摘要

An optically guided, unmanned, load transporting vehicle, such as a fork-lift truck, includes an electric camera, such as an industrial television camera, and a controller for controlling the automatic running apparatus of the vehicle. Two reflectors are disposed in front of the camera so that the camera receives light from remote and near visual fields. A guide belt laid on floor for guiding the vehicle is formed with various bar codes representing halt, acceleration, deceleration, etc.
