Design and Fabrication of Autonomous Forklift

Abstract

Material handling is an important activity in factories that will be performed at a lower cost. The use of autonomous robots has the potential to reduce costs while also relieving humans of the physically demanding task of driving forklifts. This paper proposes a mechatronics design and implementation of an autonomous forklift.This paper takes a new look at autonomous forklifts in industrial settings. The proposed system employs advanced perception and control algorithms to enable unmanned operation in dynamic environments. The system employs a combination of sensors and motors to provide accurate situational awareness and obstacle avoidance. The proposed solution aims to increase work efficiency, enhance safety, and minimize the need for human intervention. The experimental results demonstrate that the system is capable of performing complex tasks such as pallet loading and unloading with precision and dependability. By increasing productivity, lowering costs, and improving workplace safety, the proposed model has the potential to have a significant impact on the material handling industry.
