CHASSIS WITH AN INTEGRATED FORK ASSEMBLY FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS AND AUTONOMOUS GUIDED VEHICLES

Conventional fork type autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are suitable to handle pallets and are typically designed with two forks. Such AMRs are very bulky and designed for a cart handling application, and usually have large openings and less suitable for lifting roller carts. Present disclosure provides chassis with integrated single fork assembly for AMRs/Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for transporting roller cages/carts within warehouses. Chassis with integrated single fork assembly enables performing tasks given by end users. Chassis carries steer and drive wheel and swivel wheels to increase stability of the AMR wherein a fork mechanism is provided which includes fork wheels and lifting mechanism. Such design and mechanism of the chassis with integrated single fork assembly overcomes the limitations of smaller widths between wheels of roller cage/carts for placement/movement of payload within warehouses and logistics environments and counter imbalance and deflection of payload and fork assembly caused therebetween.
