This paper proposes a path planning strategy for an Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV) navigating in a partially known environment. Global path planning is performed by first using a spatial database of the region to be traversed containing selected attributes such as height data and soil information from a suitable spatial database. The database is processed using a biomimetic swarm algorithm tha...

A frequent change in the manufacturing program caused by a customer requirements requires logistics system company that can respond flexibly to these changes. In order for business and optimally tasks created, tool is needed verify functionality of entire process. This article, at its core, deals with use emulation mixed environment real virtual worlds as optimising automatic guided vehicle (AG...

Artificial intelligence is a field of research that seen as means realization regarding digitalization and industry 4.0. It considered the critical technology needed to drive future evolution manufacturing systems. At same time, autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) developed an essential part due flexibility they contribute whole process within However, there are still open challenges in intelligen...

Abstract A new generation of Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) virtualises their Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in the cloud deploying 5G-based communication infrastructures to provide ultra-fast and reliable links between AGV its PLC. Stopping an can result a loss tens thousands euros per minute therefore, use machine learning techniques anticipate behavior seems be appropriate. This work p...

Automated, underground freight transport should enable sustainable economic growth in the Amsterdam area in the Netherlands. An innovative transport system, which guarantees reliable logistics and which avoids congestion problems, is currently being developed. This logistics system will be highly automated, using AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) for transport and automated loading and unloading...

In this study, we present and discuss a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem (VRP), namely heterogeneous multitype fleet green automated guided (AGV) with time windows (HFGVRPTW) applied in workshops flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Specifically, based on analysis AGV body structure motion state, transport distance energy consumption are selected as two optimization objectives....

Due to the growing number of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in use industry, as well increasing demand for limited raw materials, such lithium electric (EV), a more sustainable solution mobile energy storage AGVs is being sought. This paper presents dual system (DESS) concept, based on combination an electrical (supercapacitors) and electro-chemical (battery), used separately depending requir...

Recently, Autonomous Ground Vehicles (AGV) and mobile robots have been rapidly developed in various engineering applications, such as Industry 4.0 factory smart manufacturing. Indoor navigation was one of the most important tasks for systems they were often designed to move from location another autonomously without contacting surrounding objects along moving path a usually dynamic complex indo...

a tandem agv configuration connects all cells of a manufacturing area by means of non-overlapping, sin-gle-vehicle closed loops. each loop has at least one additional p/d station, provided as an interface between adjacent loops. this study describes the development of three tabu search algorithms for the design of tandem agv systems. the first algorithm was developed based on the basic definiti...
