Self-contained mobile robots are intelligent machines capable of moving independently, moving from one object to another, without human intervention. They feel comfortable in warehouses, as they are well oriented in space. Self-contained mobile robots rely on special devices, navigators, and maps that can reproduce imitation of the surrounding space to overcome visible obstacles and successfully move along the paths of premises. No longer need special robot tracks or magnetic stripes.

Toyota Forklift recommended the vehicles. It presented it as self-ruling vehicles, developed in cooperation with Toyota Advanced Logistics and Bastian Solutions. The first machine was named the “Center-Controlled Rider”. The second is called "Core Tow Tractor Automated Forklifts". Both are suitable for use in warehouses for various purposes. They are appropriate to provide distribution centers in large stores, where special supervision of specialists is not required to complete the packaging goods. These two machines are ideal for repetitive and standardized actions.
