Blockchain is an underlying technology for securing many real-time applications and their data. The automobile one such sector in which auto-manufacturers are looking forward to accepting the advantages of distributed ledger autonomous vehicles or systems improving products, customer satisfaction, other valuable experiences. This work aims find significance blockchain Autonomous Vehicles, inclu...

The performance evaluation of an obstacle detection and segmentation algorithm for Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) navigation in factory-like environments using a 3D real-time range camera is the subject of this paper. Our approach has been tested successfully on British safety standard recommended object sizes and materials placed on the vehicle path. The segmented (mapped) obstacles are then v...

Reducing cost of material handling has been a big challenge for companies. Flexible manufacturing system employed automated guided vehicles (AGV) to maintain efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a new non-linear mathematical programming model to group n machines into N loops, to make an efficient configuration for AGV system in Tandem layout. The model minimizes bot...

The Bearcat “Cub” Robot is an interactive, intelligent, Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) designed to serve in unstructured environments. Recent advances in computer stereo vision algorithms that produce quality disparity, and the availability of low cost high speed camera systems have simplified many of tasks associated with robot navigation and obstacle avoidance using stereo vision. Leveraging...

Industrial applications involving mobile systems can benefit from the use of wireless technology. However, wireless communication has not been widely accepted on the factory floor due to its difficulty in achieving the timely and reliable transmission of messages over error-prone wireless channels. This paper presents an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) path tracking wireless control system wher...

The varied technologies for trajectory control used in todays automatic vehicle navigation and positioning systems reveal several disadvantages. Low frequency (LF) transponders are used as lane in-ground marks for Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV). Those in-ground transponders operate with inductive coupling. Measured transponder positions are compared with map based data which contain reference...

We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model, which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV), namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobs...
