With a growth tendency, the employment of Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL) Robot Operational System (ROS) package does not reflect more in-depth discussion on its parameters’ tuning process. The authors usually do describe it. This work aims to extend analysis package’s distinct influence in an automated guided vehicle (AGV) indoor localization. experiments test parameters filter, laser...

The goal of engineering self-organising emergent systems is to acquire a macroscopic system behaviour solely from autonomous local activity and interaction. Due to the non-deterministic nature of such systems, it is hard to guarantee that the required macroscopic behaviour is achieved and maintained. Before even considering a self-organising emergent system in an industrial context, e.g. for Au...

This paper presents a colored resourceoriented Petri net (CROPN) modeling method to deal with conflict and deadlock arising in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) systems. The work can be viewed as the continuation of some of the authors’ previous work. Some unique features in AGV systems require the further investigation into their deadlock avoidance using CROPN models. The proposed approach can e...

Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are unmanned vehicles that can transport loads in a warehouse. AGVs are instructed by on-board AGV control software. As multiple AGVs operate in a decentralized manner in the warehouse environment, conflicts may arise. Consequently, it is crucial to test thoroughly whether the AGV control software actually handles the potential conflicts in the appropriate way. ...

Increasing demand for customized products in the wake of 4th Industrial Revolution is placing ever increasing demands on flexibility manufacturing systems. Furthermore, usage automated guided vehicles (AGV) adds another layer and also complexity to overall production system. The resulting Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP), including coordination AGVs, NP-hard therefore hard optimize....

|This paper describes a path planning and control structure for an autonomous vehicle. The system consists of the following tasks: A route planning module generates a route leading from a starting point to a destination point using static information from a digital map. The sensor fusion module interprets sensor observations from a number of dissimilar sensors in order to detect and identify al...

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) system is an indispensable part of a mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) for flexible and efficient production, which utilized the material delivery. With urgent needs industry digitalization market customization, along with trend corporate smart decision management, MMAL has been widely adopted in manufacturing process modularized products. To address parameter m...

An efficient management of production plants has to consider several external and internal factors, such as potential interruptions the ongoing processes. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are becoming a widespread technology that offers many advantages. These AGVs can perform complex tasks in an autonomous way. However, inefficient schedule assigned AGV suffer from unwanted idle times, which tu...
