Autonomous Transport Vehicle Stability Control

The bot employs dynamically adjustable caster wheels that can change their locking state based on operational conditions. During high-speed transport, the casters lock to provide stability, while during steering maneuvers, they unlock to allow directional changes. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between speed and stability by making the stability characteristic variable rather than fixed.

The system changes the stability parameter of the bot by controlling the locking mechanism of the caster wheels. When high stability is needed during high-speed movement, the casters are locked in place. When maneuverability is needed for steering, the casters are unlocked. This parameter change allows the bot to maintain both high-speed capability and stability control.

The invention extracts the guidance function from fixed mechanical guides and transfers it to the autonomous bot's own navigation system. The bot uses sensors, controllers, and onboard computing to determine its position and navigate to storage spaces without relying on external mechanical guidance infrastructure. This extraction provides both stability through active control and adaptability through programmable navigation.

The bot performs its own navigation and positioning tasks using onboard sensors and control systems rather than relying on external mechanical guidance. The system independently determines its location, plans routes, and executes maneuvers to access storage spaces, providing both stability through self-correction and adaptability through autonomous decision-making.
