Abstract
Guidance systems and methods for a material handling vehicle are provided. A guidance system can include a sensor and a processor unit. The sensor can be configured to measure a distance to an external object within a field of view of the sensor and output distance information corresponding to the measured distance. The processor can be configured to receive the distance information from the sensor, transform the distance information from a sensor coordinate system to a material handling vehicle coordinate system, perform pattern recognition on the transformed distance information to identify an aisle feature, create an aisle model based on the identified aisle feature, and determine a guidance instruction for the material handling vehicle based on the aisle model. The aisle model can include information corresponding to the aisle feature. The guidance instruction may be configured to align the material handling vehicle within an aisle.
