Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for moving objects. The system includes a plurality of vehicles configured to support the object, wherein each of the plurality of vehicles includes omni-directional wheels and a height adjustment device. The system also includes a control system in communication with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the control system is configured to send signals to the plurality of vehicles to instruct the plurality of vehicles in a predetermined direction along the ground surface Move the object. Each of the plurality of vehicles is configured to at least one of: adjust the direction of travel using the omni-directional wheels, or adjust the height adjustment device when in the predetermined direction The height at which the object is supported when the object is moved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for moving objects, such as large rigid structures, over uneven surfaces. Background technique [0002] Moving large structures (eg, aircraft wings) over uneven surfaces is a complex process. For example, small changes in height at different locations due to uneven surfaces cause unnecessary loads in the structure as the size (eg length and / or width) of the structure increases. These unnecessary loads can cause wear and / or damage to the structure. Additionally, the problem is compounded when attempting to move this large structure with multiple movable parts and controllers. For example, if the large structure is supported in multiple positions by different movable supports, variations in the height of the surface (e.g., uneven ground) can cause the movable supports to drift in undesired directions, which can cause the structure to unstable motion. [0003] In aircraft manufacturing, s...
