Device and method for maintaining the capability for precise navigation of an automated guided vehicle

A method and device for order picking in a warehouse with an independently freely movable transport vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a vehicle housing having a carrier plate adapted for accommodating and transporting a load rack having transportable goods, a robot adapted for grasping goods, a transverse link connecting drive wheels, which are in each case by way of an angular lever pivotable about a rotation axis, such that the drive wheels are configured to execute mutually independent vertical motions, a centrally arranged actuating element for moving two front lifting rods and two rear lifting rods with a lifting rotary lever and a push rod connected to the lifting lever in order to raise or lower the carrier plate, and a 3-D scanner, light field sensor, and WLAN antenna.
