ABSTRACT:
An forklift system which provides for autonomous pallet loading through the use of a telecamera rigidly connected to a pair of fork prongs located on the forklift, wherein the telecamera is connected to an image acquisition and processing apparatus and a computer which controls and moves the pair of fork prongs. The movement of the fork prongs is based upon the input received into the computer in the form of a processed image from the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus creates a digital image which enables the computer to estimate the position and orientation of the framed pallet relative to the telecamera.
