Abstract
An autonomous guided vehicle includes a chassis with a power supply and powered sections that are connected to the chassis and powered by the power supply. The powered sections include a drive section, a payload handling section, and a peripheral electronics section. A controller of the vehicle includes a comprehensive power management section communicably connected to the power supply so as to monitor a charge level of the power supply. The comprehensive power management section is connected to the drive section, the payload handling section, and the peripheral electronics section respectively powering the drive section, the payload handling section, and the peripheral electronics section from the power supply. The comprehensive power management section manages power consumption of branch circuits, of the powered sections, based on a demand level of each branch circuit relative to the charge level available from the power supply.
