A hitch guide is provided that has wide ranging use for a plurality of different types of vehicles. The hitch guide can include at least one moveable guiding member, at least one moveable locking member configured to lock the guiding member in at least one fixed position and configured to disengage from the guiding member to enable the guiding member to move freely within an extended, defined range of motion. In various embodiments, a force applied to a portion of the guiding member causes the locking member and the guiding member to engage to lock the guiding member in the fixed position. Further, a force applied to a release of the locking member disengages the locking member and the guiding member is released from the fixed position, which enables a greater range of rotational motion of the guiding member to accommodate tight turns of a vehicle with cart in tow.

Mechanically-adaptable hitch guide

In accordance with one aspect of the inventive concepts, provided is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), comprising: a pair of forks coupled to a carriage that is height adjustable within a mast; an object sensor coupled to the carriage and passively movable between a first position above the forks when the forks are lowered and a second position below the forks when the forks are raised, wherein the object sensor is configured to detect objects under the forks when the forks are raised.
