AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing robotic vehicles are limited in their ability to adapt to lifting different types of loads, such as pallets and storage cages, due to fixed lifting mechanisms, which hinders operational efficiency in environments like warehouses.
Method used
A robotic vehicle equipped with a removable lifting frame that can be easily attached to or detached from forks, allowing conversion between lifting pallets and storage cages, and featuring a friction-increasing material on its surface to stabilize the load.
Benefits of technology
Enables efficient and flexible handling of various load types by quickly reconfiguring the vehicle for different cargo, enhancing operational efficiency in storage environments.

Abstract
Autonomous vehicle (100) comprising a fork lift subsystem such that the autonomous vehicle is able to lift a pallet or similar platform. A lifting adaptor (300) may be removably connected to the fork lift subsystem such that the autonomous vehicle can be adapted to lift one or more storage cages or frames. The autonomous vehicle may be re-purposed to lift a pallet (or other platform) by the removal of the lifting adaptor.
