An autonomous robotic transport system has been developed in which the individual robot vehicles are able to move in multiple directions, such as vertically as well as around curves. Through the use of a unique rail system, the vehicle is able to move around corners and turns without the need for expensive modifications. This eliminates the need for various differentials or multiple electric motors to provide the difference between inner and outer wheels in a turn. Moreover, a number of switches have been developed that allow the vehicles to move not only vertically but also horizontally as well as transition between vertical and horizontal movement. A technique for operating the robotic vehicles is also described.

    Un système de transport robotique autonome a été développé dans lequel des véhicules robots individuels peuvent se déplacer dans plusieurs directions, notamment verticalement et autour de courbes. Grâce à lutilisation dun système de rails unique, le véhicule peut se déplacer autour des coins et tourner sans nécessiter de modifications coûteuses. Il nest alors plus nécessaire de disposer de divers moteurs différentiels ou électriques pour assurer la différence entre les roues internes et les roues externes lors dun virage. De plus, plusieurs interrupteurs ont été développés qui permettent aux véhicules de se déplacer verticalement et horizontalement et de faire la transition entre le mouvement vertical et le mouvement horizontal. Une technique dexploitation des véhicules robotiques est également décrite.
