In order to increase the flexibility of our unmanned vehicle products such as automated guided forklifts (hereinafter, AGF(s)) and plant patrol inspection robots, and promote further application of them at sites, a navigation technology that allows accurate guidance of an unmanned vehicle to an object with unclear position and posture is necessary. Therefore, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) has developed, jointly with Kobe University, an accurate navigation technology through human-machine cooperation that allows positioning of a target object in cooperation with a tablet terminal carried by a worker and unmanned vehicle sensor and accurate guidance of the unmanned vehicle based on the positioning information. We plan to apply this technology to contribute to the increasing intelligence and sophistication of the mobility domain in MHI group business.
