Abstract

An unmanned ground-based transport vehicle, UGV, includes a housing, having a base plate and at least one housing side wall substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Arranged in the housing is at least one wheel drive, which is coupled to at least one wheel. The wheel is arranged in a recess in the base plate. The UGV further includes sensors for sensing the environment of the UGV, and a controller for autonomous location and navigation of the UGV on the basis of sensing parameters of the sensors. The UGV includes at least one load-receiving element coupled to the housing side wall and extending outwards from the housing side wall, wherein the load-receiving element includes a load support surface for supporting an item with respect to a vertical direction which extends transverse to the base plate.
