An autonomous vehicle and navigation system, including a chassis, a propulsor arranged to drive the chassis, wherein the propulsor is operably connected with an electric power source, a load bearing dynamic platform operable to translate vertically, and a controller operable to receive and transmit signals, wherein the controller is operable to control the propulsor. Wherein the controller is operable to navigate an environment utilizing one or more pre-planned routes in an automated guidance mode as a function of guidance from a global controller, and the controller is operable to navigate the environment utilizing signals from a remote control in a localized remote guidance mode.

Autonomous load moving electric vehicle

A bidirectional self-contained end-of stroke snubbing device ( ) includes a housing ( ), a rod ( ) movable relative to the housing, a single fluid-filled variable-volume chamber ( ) communicating with a fluid sump ( ) through an orifice ( ), and a lost-motion mechanism for selectively reducing the volume of the chamber proximate either end of the stroke of the rod-like member. The mechanism will force fluid from the chamber through the orifice to decelerate and cushion movement of the rod-like member relative to the housing proximate either end of its stroke.
