Swarm Robotic Forklift

The problem

The Navy has many craft on board their larger ships that are stowed below deck in tight spaces. Some of these craft can be large, heavy, and bulky making it hard to navigate them to the ship’s surface for launch.

The Solution

At Intelligent Automation, I developed a concept for a network of connected robotic forklifts that would work together to lift a load. Each robot was designed to meet specifications regarding maneuverability on board Navy ships as well as carry the required loads.
