A vehicle includes a frame, a drivetrain coupled to the frame, a base assembly coupled to the frame, and a lifting implement coupled to and supported on the base assembly. The lifting implement includes a platform, a cradle rotatably coupled to and supported on the platform so that the cradle, a scissor assembly coupled between the platform and the base assembly, and a lift actuator coupled between the base assembly and the scissor assembly. The lift actuator is configured to selectively raise the cradle relative to the base assembly. The lift actuator is a multi-stage telescoping actuator that includes a base stage, an intermediate stage, and an outer stage. The base stage is coupled to the base assembly, the outer stage is coupled to the scissor assembly, and the intermediate stage is arranged between the base stage and the outer stage.

A vehicle may include a frame, a drive system coupled to the frame to propel and steer the vehicle, an energy storage device configured to provide power to the drive system, and a lift implement coupled to the frame, the lift implement comprising a cradle and a lift assembly configured to adjust a position of the cradle relative to the frame. The vehicle may further include at least one of an audio output device or a visual output device and a controller configured to: determine a condition of the vehicle and provide an alert based on the determined condition, wherein the determined condition is at least one of a plurality of conditions, and wherein each condition of the plurality of conditions is associated with a unique alert, the unique alert comprising at least one unique aspect specific to the condition relative to the other conditions of the plurality of conditions.

A vehicle system includes a vehicle, one or more input devices, and one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon. When executed by one or more processors, the instructions cause the one or more processors to retrieve, from the one or more memory devices, a floorplan of a production system, receive a current position of the vehicle, and receive, from the one or more input devices, one or more inputs. The one or more inputs include one or more of one or more locations in the production system, a footprint of the vehicle, or one or more obstacles. The instructions also cause the one or more processors to generate a route for the vehicle from the current position of the vehicle to the one or more locations based on the one or more inputs.

An autonomous vehicle system includes a vehicle and a sensor movably coupled with the vehicle. An actuator is configured to move the sensor to reposition the sensor on the vehicle. A controller is configured to detect an obstruction of the sensor and operate the actuator to reposition the sensor.

A vehicle includes a frame, a drive system coupled to the frame to propel and steer the vehicle, an energy storage device coupled to the frame and configured to provide power to the drive system, a lift implement coupled to the frame, the lift implement comprising a cradle to support a load and a lift assembly configured to adjust a position of the cradle relative to the frame, one or more sensors configured to provide sensing data indicative of an environment surrounding the vehicle, and a controller comprising one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: operate the vehicle along a first path, determine the first path extends into a first predefined zone, generate a second path that avoids the first predefined zone; and operate the vehicle along the second path.

An autonomous vehicle system includes a vehicle including a base assembly having a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, and side surfaces extending between the front surface and the rear surface. A sensor system is coupled to the base assembly and configured to detect one or more objects located in an area near the vehicle. The sensor system includes a first sensor oriented parallel with at least one of the front surface, the rear surface, or the side surfaces, and a second sensor oriented non-parallel with the front surface, the rear surface, and the side surfaces. A control system is configured to receive a communication regarding the detection of the one or more objects from the sensor system and generate one or more controls for at least one of the base assembly or one or more tractive elements.

A manufacturing system includes a vehicle configured to facilitate movement of a product throughout a manufacturing environment. The vehicle assembly includes a chassis, an interface coupled to the chassis and configured to support the product, and a sensor coupled to the interface. The sensor is operatively coupled to a controller, which is configured to receive sensor data, receive current stage of assembly of a product, determine an expected force based on the current stage of assembly, and compare the measured force and expected force. In response to a determination that the measured force differs from the expected force, the controller provides a notification to the user of the current status of the product.
