Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for stabilization of autonomous vehicles using electromagnetic force. In one embodiment, an example autonomous vehicle may include a base comprising a first side and a second side, and a first container handling assembly coupled to the base. The first container handling assembly may be configured to support a first stack of containers, and may be configured to extend from the autonomous vehicle in a first direction over the first side of the base. The autonomous vehicle may include a first electromagnet coupled to the base along the second side, and a controller configured to energize the first electromagnet when the first container handling assembly is in an extended position in the first direction, such that the autonomous vehicle is stabilized via an electromagnetic force generated by the first electromagnet.
