Yale Materials Handling Corp., Greenville, N.C., released the Yale MO50T tow tractor Guided, manufactured by Seegrid Corp., Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Yale MO50T tow tractor Guided is simple to train and operate and requires no additional infrastructure for navigation such as wires, laser targets or magnetic tape. An operator trains the vehicle by driving a desired route while programming selected behaviors. During training, the vision system captures images of the environment and compiles the images into a 3-dimensional map for route navigation. The vehicle can learn and store up to 25 miles of routes.
