Embodiments relate to an autonomous robot including forks for loading a pallet onto its body. With the pallet loaded, the autonomous robot moves to a target location and then unloads the pallet automatically. To load the pallet, the forks are inserted below the top deckboard of the pallet, and then raised by lifting devices. The body of the autonomous robot is moved forward while retracting the forks to place the body under the pallet. Then the forks are lowered to mount the pallet onto the upper surface of the body. The autonomous robot navigates to the target location automatically, and then unloads the pallet by lifting the pallet from the upper surface of the body. Such loading or unloading of the pallet by the autonomous robot is performed autonomously without using additional equipment or manual involvement.
