Resumo |
This paper reports work involved with the automation of a Hot Metal Carrier — a 20 tonne forklift-type vehicle used to move molten metal in aluminium smelters. To achieve efficient vehicle operation, issues of autonomous navigation and materials handling must be addressed. We present our complete system and experiments demontrating reliable operation. One of the most significant experiments was five-hours of continuous operation where the vehicle travelled over 8 km and conducted 60 load handling operations. We also describe an experiment where the vehicle and autonomous operation were supervised from the other side of the world via a satellite phone network. |
