An autonomous mobile vehicle includes an automatic guided vehicle (AGV), a platform assembly coupled to the AGV, and a collaborative manipulator mounted to a support plate of the platform assembly. A safety sensor is coupled to the collaborative manipulator and includes a first proximity sensor fixed relative to the support plate and a second proximity sensor coupled to the collaborative manipulator proximate to a gripper of the collaborative manipulator and movable with an arm of the collaborative manipulator. The safety sensor determines when the gripper is located at a home position proximate to the support plate by detecting the second proximity sensor in proximity to the first proximity sensor.
