Unloading first few rows of pallets from a trailer using an autonomous mobile robot. The robot determines that a pallet is a first in a row where the trailer does not have sufficient space to accommodate the robot. The robot determines a pose of each observable pallet in the trailer and determines a front plane for the pallets in the same row as the target pallet. The robot navigates to a first goal position inside the trailer, based on the pallet and trailer poses, then picks up the pallet. The robot side-shifts toward an adjacent pallet until detecting contact, then adjusts back by a predetermined distance to maximize clearance between the pallet and a side wall of the trailer. The robot navigates backward in a straight line to a second goal position on a ramp, and then proceeds to drop off the pallet in the staging area.
