Disclosed is a propulsion system for propelling autonomous robots on vertical and horizontal rails that support shelves on which items are stored in a warehouse. The propulsion system changes the principle of travelling on the rails from being dependent on friction between the front wheels and the rail to a system that is dependent on a rack and pinion gear assembly. Also described is a locking assembly that allows the robot to cling to the rails and travel up and along them to reach required destinations on the shelves.
