A system has been developed to facilitate hands-free autonomous control of material handling equipment or vehicles, such as forklifts and pallet trucks. The system has been designed to facilitate visual tracking by the automated vehicle and further facilitates voice commands. In some use cases, visual tracking is only used, and in other cases only voice commands are used. In other cases, both visual tracking and voice commands are used to control the material handling vehicle. For visual tracking, one or more cameras are configured to capture one or more images of a fiducial. In one case, the vehicle moves, turns, and/or stops based on the movement of the fiducial. For voice control, the operator provides voice commands via a voice controller. The voice controller converts the voice commands to vehicle control commands that are sent to a remote receiver unit (RRU) in the vehicle.

A mobile object is configured to transmit, in response to a gesture of a traffic participant existing in the vicinity of the mobile object being a stop request, an inquiry signal including position information of the traffic participant to a server in order to confirm whether the mobile object provides a specific service to which the traffic participant who has performed the gesture is subscribed. The server is configured to determine, in response to receiving the inquiry signal, whether the traffic participant who made the gesture is one of users subscribed to the specific service and transmit an answer signal including a result of the determination to the mobile object. The mobile object is further configured to perform, in response to receiving the answer signal, an action according to a result of the determination included in the answer signal.
