Two wheel automatic guided vehicles used in combination

This invention describes a system where several two-wheeled robots, called automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), are linked together. Each robot has its own left and right motor-driven wheels and a controller, allowing it to move independently while connected. A rotational coupling on each AGV allows for flexible connections between them.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in multi-robot coordination software and cost-effective sensor fusion. These now make complex convoy behavior more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateMotors, controllers, software, mechanical linkages, couplings.
