Abstract
The chapter is focused on the issues of internal logistics process automation. Such operational processes’ performance needs appropriate systems to ensure safety and reduce the likelihood of eradicating undesirable situations. Therefore, the main problem addressed in the paper is investigating the possibility of obstacle detection to ensure the correctness and efficiency of the internal transport process performance. Indeed, the paper presents the results of conducted tests for obstacle detection by an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). Performance tests were carried out with an AMR placed on a hard surface. The tested navigation system consists of two laser scanners (SICK, HOKUYO), 3D cameras and an Inertial Measurement Unit. The obtained results allowed for the conclusion on the reliability of a material handling process in the context of AMR behaviour for static/dynamic obstacle detection. The work ends up with conclusions and directions for further research.
