Abstract
An autonomous robotic cart includes a chassis, sensors coupled with the chassis, visible light cameras, and a handlebar unit coupled with the chassis. The handlebar unit includes a handlebar and a force sensor configured to detect a translational force and a rotational force exerted on the handlebar. The autonomous robotic cart also includes a holonomic and omnidirectional mechanical drive unit coupled with the chassis. The autonomous robotic cart is configured to autonomously navigate a physical environment to execute one or more navigation goals determined based on communication with a remote computing system configured to manage a fleet of robots including the autonomous robotic cart and also to cause the autonomous robotic cart to move translationally and rotationally in a direction corresponding to a output force vector determined based on sensor data.
