ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an automatic system for controlling the steering of a non-railed transfer crane travelling along a lane indicant. The system comprises a vision sensor for continuously photographing the condition of a crane's actual travelling direction with respect to lanes represented by the lane indicant, and outputting predetermined deviations (distance as well as angle) showing off-centered degrees between the crane's actual travelling direction and the lanes based on the photographed image signal, and a deviation processor for outputting a control signal to a motor driver so that the crane can travel toward removing the deviation distance. By properly changing a rotative velocity of the crane's wheels, the present invention prevents the crane's travelling direction from being off-centered from the lanes.
