Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) represents a crucial algorithm in the autonomous navigation of ground vehicles. Several studies were conducted to improve SLAM using various sensors robot platforms. However, only few works have focused on applications inside low-illuminated featureless tunnel environments. In this work, we present an improved wheel encoder data from vehicle (AGV) ob...

Compressed air is a widespread but costly energy carrier. Leaks account for 10 compressed air consumption in production facilities and their removal offers high potential for cost reduction. The turbulent flow from a leak causes broadband acoustic emissions. These are exploited for leak detection using a narrowband ultrasonic microphone that is insensitive to audible noise. A parabolic mirror o...

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems have been frequently used as material handling equipment in manufacturing systems since the last two decades. The use of AGV systems has taken attention of practitioners and researchers. Although there are numerous studies concerning with AGV systems in literature, a few of them deal with the adaptation of these systems into JIT systems. Moreover, the faci...

Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), which is equipped with several CNC machines and Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) based material handling system is designed and implemented to gain the flexibility and efficiency of production. After the implementation of FMS, in practice, the scheduling of the resources, such as frequent variation in the parts, tools, AGV routings, becomes a complex task. Thi...

The Automated Guided Vehicles (or AGVs for short) have become an important option in the container handling process. We present a parallel simulation system for the study of AGV routing schemes. We model the AGV system based on a time-driven approach and execute the model on an efficient simulation engine implemented by using Cilk, a parallel programming language developed at MIT. We will elabo...

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...

In this paper, we present the design and performance analysis of an innovative system for tracking Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in indoor industrial scenarios. An on-board odometer provides information about the dynamic state of the AGV, allowing to predict its pose (i.e., its position and orientation). At the same time, an external Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) wireless network provides the inform...

An analysis of the transportation systems used in flexible manufacturing systems is introduced in the paper. Based on the analysis an approach to the modelling and control of an automatic guided vehicles system (AGVS) is presented. It is aimed at a specifically delimited class of the AGV transportation systems. A special group of the colored Petri nets interpreted for control is used for the pr...
