The AGV (automated guided vehicle) was introduced in UK in 1953 for transporting. But nowadays, due to their high efficiency, flexibility, reliability, safety and system scalability, they are used in various application in industries. In brief, the AGV robot is a system which typically made up of vehicle chassis, embedded controller, motors, drivers, navigation and collision avoidance sensors, ...

The development of techniques for lateral and longitudinal control of vehicles has become an important and active research topic in the face of emerging markets for advanced autonomous guided vehicle (AGV). Considering an AGV is nonholonomic dynamic system with inherent nonlinearity, unmodelled disturbance and unstructured unmodelled dynamics, fuzzy logic system based control is appropriate. Th...

Students following the Mechatronics Program stream at the University of Waikato often continue to a MSc degree that can involve the design of, or modification to, an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV). Our challenge is to inspire and extend the capabilities of these students, a success that can perhaps be measured by the sophistication of the AGVs currently being produced by our graduates.

In this paper, we consider real-time tracking of an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV) in an indoor industrial scenario. An on-board odometer provides information about the dynamic state of the AGV, allowing to predict its pose (position and orientation). At the same time, an external Ultra Wide Band (UWB) wireless network provides the information necessary to compensate the error drift accumulate...

In pursuit of flexible and agile automation within the domain of discrete manufacturing, a paint-shop with its surrounding logistics and handling processes is under construction as a laboratory prototype application. Holonic Manufacturing is argued to be a promising strategic paradigm and architecture to use for a system characterized by flexible production logistics and control. This paper des...

Nowadays the market for industrial companies is becoming more and more globalized and highly competitive, forcing them to shorten the duration of the manufacturing system development time in order to reduce the time to market. In order to achieve this target, the hierarchical systems used in previous manufacturing systems are not enough because they cannot deal effectively with unexpected situa...

The study objectives are to 1) provide information regarding the use and benefits of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems in manufacturing environments, and 2) review the literature related to design, modeling and simulation of AGV systems. We classify the tools utilized in design problems of AGV systems as analytical and simulation-based tools. Then, give examples of both categories from rel...
