Autonomous Material Handling Systems: MichelinLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Standard wheel spindle geometries and manual forklift operation limit the efficiency of self-navigating load transport in industrial environments.

What technical problems is Michelin addressing in Autonomous Material Handling Systems?

Autonomous Load Positioning Inaccuracy

(21)evidences

Inaccurate spatial perception during fork insertion leads to load instability or equipment collisions during autonomous lifting operations.

Vehicle Wheel Alignment Misalignment

(25)evidences

Static axle configurations prevent real-time adjustment of camber and toe, causing uneven tire wear and reduced transport vehicle efficiency.
