A robotic cart platform with a navigation and movement system that integrates into a conventional utility cart to provide both manual and autonomous modes of operation. The platform includes drive wheels replacing the front wheels of the cart. The platform and system include motors, encoders, an IMU, a processor and a microcontroller. The system has a work environment mapping sensor and a cabled array of digital cameras, proximity or radar sessors, as well as weight sensors, lights, a 15 key control panel secured throughout the cart. When in autonomous mode, the system provides navigation, movement and location tracking with or without wireless connection to a server. Destination keys allow autonomous navigation to desired destinations. Looping, boomerang and home keys facilitate autonomous navigation for a variety working environments and situations. The radar sensors provide enhanced obstacle avoidance, cart localizing, route planning and human interaction capabilities.
