Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
receiving, from one or more sensors, one or more indications associated with a drive system and a steering system associated with an electric pallet jack, the one or more indications indicating a load weight of a load being carried by the electric pallet jack;
determining, based at least on the one or more indications, an operating state associated with a pallet jack velocity and a pallet jack acceleration;
determining, based at least on the load weight of the load and the pallet jack velocity, a velocity control that defines a maximum velocity and a minimum velocity associated with the operating state;
determining, based at least on the load weight of the load and the pallet jack acceleration, an acceleration control that defines a set of acceleration limits and a set of deceleration limits;
monitoring the operating state to determine whether the pallet jack velocity satisfies the velocity control and whether the pallet jack acceleration satisfies the acceleration control; and
determining, based at least on the velocity control or the acceleration control, an updated operating state that is implemented via the drive system.
