Abstract
Systems and techniques for performing a calibration test of an obstacle detection sensor of a drive unit are described. An example system includes a calibration region and at least one drive unit. The calibration region is disposed in an environment and includes a calibration apparatus. The at least one drive unit is operable to autonomously move throughout the environment. The at least one drive unit includes a sensor configured to detect one or more objects within the environment. The at least one drive unit is configured to autonomously transition to the calibration region upon detecting at least one predetermined condition, and perform a calibration test of the first sensor at the calibration region using the calibration apparatus.
