Last month, the Agile Robotics team demonstrated their autonomous forklift for the U.S. Army Logistics Innovation Agency at Fort Lee in Virginia. The group, helmed by Professor Seth Teller, has modified a Toyota 8-Series lift truck to drive and manipulate pallets unmanned.
The forklift is programmed to follow vocal commands to transport loads from place to place. It's being developed for eventual use by the military, in areas that are unsafe for human drivers.
