Abstract
The present invention provides a transport system comprising an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMRs) (1) and the equipment to be moved (2), which can be operated safely and efficiently within an industrial/commercial environment, while the AMRs (1), as well as the equipment to be moved (2), can be produced in a cost-efficient way. A particular object of the invention is to: providing supporting members (4) of the equipment to be moved, which have no or only a negligible impact on the safety system, providing equipment to be moved (2) which can carry heavy payloads, preferably of hundreds and thousands of kilograms; providing a safety sensor system for an AMR, which can provide protective zones (5) around the AMR and the equipment to be moved and where the supporting members (4) of the equipment to be moved (2) have no or only a negligible impact on the safety of transportation. Another object of the invention is the correct attachment of the cart/shelf (2) to the AMR (1) is ensured before and during driving.
