Abstract (en)

The system, which is installed on a vehicle (14), incorporates a robotic arm (10) with a gripping device for seizing and releasing cones (12), a detection system (13) for detecting cones (12), driving means for driving the arm (10) between a pick-up position for picking up the cone (12) and an unloading position for unloading the cone (12) in a storage area and means for positioning cones (12) at a regular distance on said road. The gripping device comprises an elongated member (11) projecting in a cantilevered manner from a side of the vehicle (14) provided to face said cones (12) when the vehicle (14) moves backwards. The elongated member (11) incorporates a fixed half-clamp (15) and a mobile half-clamp (16), which can be moved closer to/away from said fixed half-clamp (15) to seize and hold an upper end of the cone (12) therebetween.
