Abstract
An unmanned vehicle system that transports cars in place of humans was devised. To enable application to a wide range of vehicle types including those without automated driving functions, vehicle transportation robots that are not constrained by car body performance are used for vehicle transportation. Additionally, in order to transport vehicles even in limited indoor and urban spaces, the system employs a pair of robots that move freely underneath the target vehicle, lift up the tires of the vehicle at the same time, and cooperate to achieve free omni-directional transportation. A prototype of the vehicle transportation robot was developed to verify system feasibility. Operation verification experiments were conducted using the developed prototype in a limited space, and confirmed realization of the desired transport operation.
