화물을 운송하는 자율 운송 로봇으로서, 자율 운송 로봇은 적어도 하나의 참조 기준 표면 및 적어도 하나의 화물 정위치 장치를 갖는 화물 베드를 포함하고, 적어도 하나의 화물 정위치 장치는 화물 베드 상의 미리 정해진 위치에 화물을 놓아두기 위해 적어도 하나의 참조 기준 표면과 실질적으로 접촉하게 화물 베드 상에 화물을 배치하도록 구성된다. The present invention concerns an autonomous transport vehicle. the vehicle has a payload bed (1510) and a transfer arm (1540A) disposed in the payload bed and configured to extend along a first axis (6000) to transfer a pickface to and from the payload bed. The transfer arm includes fingers (1540) which can lift individually to each other along a second axis (1673), perpendicular to the first axis for picking and placing the pickface.
