  "textContent": "According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a reliable mechanism to autonomously hitch a trolley to a vehicle, e.g., an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is described herein. The described hitching mechanism includes a camera to accurately position the vehicle, a mechanical setup designed for hitching to the trolley using a latch system with a pin type hitch. The system incorporates an automatic unhitching mechanism and includes a sensing capability to determine whether a trolley has been hitched to a vehicle, e.g., an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), or not. Additionally, the system allows for a high tolerance in the field of view (FOV) for aligning with the trolley hitch.",
