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...

in this project guidance and control of underwater robot, including three engines and propeller attached to it, by fuzzy control has been investigated. fuzzy control is done based on human experience and requiered laws. the robot can also be controlled and guided by the user. this robot may be used in sea or swimming pool environment for finding goal point and locate in desired direction. in ad...

This paper presents a concept of platoon movement of autonomous vehicles (smart cars). To be able to do research to the stability of an AGV string, a car-following model is being determined. To do this, first a single vehicle is modeled and since all cars in the platoon have the same dynamics, the single vehicle model is copied ten times. To control this string, equal P(I)D controllers are appl...

This paper addresses the issue of guidance and control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for a cable tracking problem. A linear quadratic Gaussian controller with loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR) is developed because of its strong robustness properties. The vehicle is guided towards the target using a combination of different guidance algorithms. The vehicle speed is used to formulate t...

This paper presents a guiding strategy for autonomous vehicles working in greenhouses based on laser and vision. It follows the idea of auto-guided vehicles but despite of establishing the desired route on the ground (like auto-guided vehicles), here a mesh of laser emitters are managed to establish the route. In particular, a vision-based algorithm (template matching) is employed to detect the...

T his special issue of IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine (RAM) has been prepared in the scope of the activities of the Technical Committee on Autonomous Ground Vehicle and Intelligent Transportation Systems (AGV-ITS) (http://www.ieee-ras.org/ autonomous-groundvehicles-and-intelligenttransportation-systems) of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). The purpose of this special issue ...

Fuzzy logic was first suggested as the mechanism by which humans drive cars. This paper addresses the use of fuzzy logic and algorithms towards the intelligent autonomous motion control of land vehicles. To cope with vehicle complexities, internal parametric changes, and with unpredictable environmental effects, the controllers that are presented, whilst heuristic in nature, are self-organizing...

CajunBot, an autonomous ground vehicle and a finalist in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, is built on the chassis of MAX IV, a six-wheeled ATV. Transformation of the ATV to an AGV (Autonomous Ground Vehicle) required adding drive-by-wire control, LIDAR sensors, an INS, and a computing system. Significant innovations in the core computational algorithms include an obstacle detection algorithm tha...
