ICP-Based Pallet Tracking for Unloading on Inclined Surfaces by Autonomous Forklifts
arXiv:2602.16744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes a control method for autonomous forklifts to unload pallets on inclined surfaces, enabling the fork to be withdrawn without dragging the pallets. The proposed method applies the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm to point clouds measured from the upper region of the pallet and thereby tracks the relative position and attitude angle difference between the pallet and the fork during the unloading operation in real-time. According to the tracking result, […]
