Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. The AMR system of claim 1, wherein the coupling structure further comprises a reflector unit which is configured to selectively reflect light from a light source;
wherein the AMR further comprises an orientation control system, which comprises a broadband light emitter, a narrowband light sensor and an orientation control unit operatively connected to the mobile drive unit;
wherein the orientation control system is configured to:
emit, from the broadband light emitter, light onto the reflector unit;
record, with the narrowband light sensor, light selectively reflected by said reflector unit;
determine, from the wavelength of the recorded light, an orientation of the AMR relative to the wheeled cart; and,
determine, an orientation correction factor for adjusting an orientation of the AMR which includes adjusting a movement of the robot body and/or a rotation of the cart coupling system.
