Abstract
An autonomous robot system to enable flexible, safe, efficient, and automated movement of goods and materials in a dynamic environment including one or more dynamic objects (e.g., humans). The autonomous robot system includes a modular autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) including a vehicle management system having a safety management system. The safety management system includes one or more safety management controllers to perform safety functions to enable the modular AGV to operate safely and efficiently alongside humans in a dynamic environment (e.g., a warehouse or fulfillment facility).
