# Automated baggage handling carts and systems

## Abstract

Automated and/or autonomous material handling equipment include conveyors and/or baggage carts that can be used in material handling systems for safe and efficient package movement and management within facilities such as warehouses, airports, campuses and/or other locations. In some examples, material handling systems include a conveyor that can be tilted and/or raised in a motorized and automated manner. In some embodiments, the autonomous baggage carts include a cart body defining an interior space configured for receiving baggage items, driven wheels attached to the cart body, an onboard microcomputer and antenna configured for wireless communication with a remotely located computerized baggage handling management and control logistics system, and a door conveyor movably attached to the cart body. In some examples, an automated conveyor system described herein can be used separately from the baggage cart.
