The conceptual 'Autonomo Fork Lift' (AFL) has been designed by DongJun Kim as a safety and efficiency focused solution for the modern factory that would provide administrators with a better way to perform duties. The system maintains an autonomous functionality that can detect obstacles and operate at fixed speeds on designated paths in order to make it an efficiency powerhouse. The vehicle doesn't feature an operator cabin to further enhance storage capabilities, while the sensor-packed system wouldn't rely on hand-eye coordination to access crates.
The conceptual 'Autonomo Fork Lift' (AFL) would work to drastically enhance productivity in the modern factory or warehouse and wouldn't be limited by operating hours to work continuously without the need for more person power to get the job done.
