Mechatronics Systems of Autonomous Transport Vehicle

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to present the development and realization of the elaborate mechatronic systems, having its main application in the logistic industry. The innovative, patented steering system is its unique feature. The steerage is based on the torque difference between the drive wheels. This solution allows for the unlimited maneuverability during the motion of the vehicle.
