A material handling vehicle can include a first camera to determine the position of an object in a first camera field of view, and a second camera to determine the position of an object in a second camera field of view. The vehicle may further include a fork position sensor to determine whether one or more forks of the material handling vehicle are extended and/or retracted. In one example, a controller can be in communication with the first sensor, the second sensor, and the fork position sensor, the controller to autonomously control the material handling vehicle to pick-up or drop-off a load based on information from the first camera, the second camera, and the fork position sensor.
