Autonomous eTrolley II: Driverless Delivery
The future belongs to driverless transportation logistics! Reliability, safety, and increased efficiency are just as decisive in the effectiveness of these systems as reduced cost and increase flexibility.
KYBURZ Switzerland provides a solution to modern logistics needs with its new Autonomous eTrolley!
Logistics without accompaniment
The KYBURZ autonomous eTrolley transports goods and provides logistics services on pre-defined routes. One click sends the eTrolley on its way to and from a wide variety of user-defined indoor and outdoor targets. On arrival an electronic lock is opened and the loading hatches may be used without the risk of theft.
Logistics with increased safety
Eight different sensors (including LIDAR, 360° cameras, ultrasonic range and GPS) monitor the environment in real-time to detect and avoid hazards. The autonomous eTrolley is programmed to share the roads and pedestrian ways respectfully, and communicates its intentions with other vehicles and people using various audio and visual channels. In the unlikely event of sensor failure the autonomous eTrolley is guaranteed fail-safe through a sensitive fender and/or e-stop cord which cut power to the motors.
Logistics with power
The high-torque differential drive motors installed on the autonomous eTrolley enable it to climb grades up to 30%. Its high ride height combined with patent-pending passive actuator curb control allow the vehicle to climb curbs up to 12cm high without human intervention.
Heavy-duty logistics
Whether with an element-sealed box, normed pallets, or with multiple loading levels the autonomous eTrolley can be outfitted with customer-required storage systems. The vehicle can carry up to 120kg in all configurations.
Flexibilty in operation
The autonomous eTrolley can be driven in three different modes: either fully autonomously from origin to destination, by hand or in follow-me mode to accompany a postal delivery worker, or remotely controlled to navigate unfamiliar territory.
