The shuttle Brio is a fork-lift truck for transport and stockpiling of merchandise. It can be found in places with high chaotic density, automatic systems usually run by machines and more than humans.
Brio is the hardware support, equipped with a simple and intuitive interface, for the use of a complex system of software that manages its own movements. A space-plan of the environment is installed in the system memory, which guides Brio’s movements very precisely.
Brio is provided with three radar sensors, placed on the front part, which react immediately to the presence of any kind of obstacle. Furthermore, the yellow bumpers react to any kind of contact blocking its movements.
