Abstract
An autonomous mobile vehicle includes an AGV having a base, a motor coupled to the base, a wheel driven by the motor for moving the AGV, a battery coupled to the motor to power the motor, and an AGV controller for controlling movement of the AGV. The autonomous mobile vehicle includes a platform assembly coupled to the base. The platform assembly includes a frame defining a cavity and a support plate supported by the frame configured to support a collaborative manipulator. The platform assembly includes a collaborative manipulator controller received in the cavity configured to be operably coupled to the collaborative manipulator to actuate the collaborative manipulator in accordance with a control scheme. The platform assembly includes a safety controller received in the cavity electrically coupled to the battery of the AGV to control a power supply to the collaborative manipulator controller.
