Abstract (en)
A method for automatically handling loads substantially consists in performing operations for loading goods (60) into a vehicle body (50) and operations for unloading goods from a vehicle body by using automatically-controlled vehicles (2) provided with a location device (5) and with an onboard computer (3) which is interconnected to a main computer (4), which guide them in their programmed movements. The automatically-controlled vehicles directly enter the vehicle bodies to perform the goods loading and unloading operations, performing a three-dimensional virtual reconstruction of the interior of the vehicle body.
