A teleoperated robotic system that includes master control arms, slave arms, and a mobile platform. In use, a user manipulates the master control arms to control movement of the slave arms. The teleoperated robotic system can include two master control arms and two slave arms. The master control arms and the slave arms can be mounted on the platform. The platform can provide support for the master control arms and for a teleoperator, or user, of the robotic system. Thus, a mobile platform can allow the robotic system to be moved from place to place to locate the slave arms in a position for use. Additionally, the user can be positioned on the platform, such that the user can see and hear, directly, the slave arms and the workspace in which the slave arms operate.

A load handling module for a material handling vehicle can include a first camera configured to determine the position of an object in a first camera field of view, and a second camera positioned above the first camera and configured to determine the position of an object in a second camera field of view. A fork tip sensor can be secured to at least one fork proximate the tip end thereof, and can be configured to detect the presence of an object within a fork sensor field of view extending in front of the fork. A controller can be in communication with the first sensor, the second sensor, and the fork tip sensor, the controller being configured to autonomously control the material handling vehicle to pick up or drop-off a load.

A work vehicle comprising a pair of forks and an optical sensor. The optical sensor is configued to capture image data that includes the pair of forks and a moveable object. An electronic processor is configured to perform an operation by controllably adjusting the pair of forks, receive image data captured by the optical sensor, apply an aritificial neural network to identify whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object based on the image data, wherein the artificial neural network is trained to receive the image data as input and to produce as the output an indication of whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object, access operation information corresponding to whether the pair of forks are aligned for moving the moveable object from a non-transitory computer-readable memory, and automatically adjust an operation of the work vehicle based on the operation information.

A manipulator for transporting a load laterally with respect to a vehicle includes a support frame adapted for mounting on a vehicle. A movable guide is supported by the support frame for lateral translation with respect to the support frame. A carriage which is capable of supporting a load engaging attachment for supporting a load is supported by the guide for translation with respect to the guide in the lengthwise direction of the guide. The carriage can translate with respect to the guide in the lengthwise direction of the guide at the same time that the guide is translating laterally with respect to the support frame.

An example method of manipulating an element using an autonomous vehicle includes the following operations: following engagement with the element and during movement of the autonomous vehicle, detecting relative movement between the autonomous vehicle and the element; in response to detecting the relative movement, making a determination that the engagement is inadequate for the autonomous vehicle to continue manipulating the element; and controlling the autonomous vehicle based on the determination.
