In this paper we review how automation and robots are a key player in contributing to the increased need for profit by providing decrease production costs, reducing delivery time, improving quality, and increasing customer satisfaction. In particular, we focus on logistics robots, namely, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated mobile robots ...

Path tracking of Automated Guided Vehicle
2014 Seventh International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3), 2014In this paper, a systematic method for kinematics and dynamic tricycle modelling of AGV is presented to track the desired trajectory. The localization of AGV is done by a laser sensor NAV200 which is used to detect the AGV position in dour environment in real time. The AGV consists of 2 passive wheels at rear and 1 driving wheel at front.

Decentralized coordination of automated guided vehicles
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2008This paper approaches the issue of coordination of highly autonomous Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) working on an automated factory. These vehicles are used for goods delivery tasks between different points of the production system. The coordination is based on a decentralized architecture where each vehicle broadcasts the information about its state

Dynamic positioning of idle automated guided vehicles
Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, 2000An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot commonly used to carry loads in material handling systems (MHS). Once a transfer is completed, an AGV stops at a home position, a point where it can park until it is assigned a new task. Determining the home positions is an important control problem with a direct influence on the overall performance ...

Tracking Control of Automated Guided Vehicles
2007The study of automated guided vehicle behavior when moving on a plane occupies practically a central place in the automobile theory. While an automated vehicle travels at a relatively low speed, controlling it with only a kinematics model may work.

Scheduling automated guided vehicle with battery constraints
2015 20th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR), 2015Automated guided vehicles(AGV) are becoming a popular tool in industries, manufactories, etc. That is why much research has been devoted to different AGV problems such as routing and scheduling. The issues of defining when an AGV needs to charge its battery is an important issue.

Deadlock avoidance in automated guided vehicle systems
2001 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics. Proceedings (Cat. No.01TH8556), 2002Automated guided vehicle systems (AGVSs) are the most flexible means to transport pieces among workstations of an automated manufacturing system (AMS). The control of such systems must be in charge of avoiding collisions and deadlock conditions. The paper formulates a control scheme to face this problem.

Decentralized routing algorithms for automated guided vehicles
Proceedings of the 1996 ACM symposium on Applied Computing - SAC '96, 1996Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are driverless vehicles that are becoming a popular means for material handling. Existing methods for routing AGVs are generally based on centralized control. The central controller is potentially a bottleneck of communication and the single point of weakness of the system.

Development of a SLAM based automated guided vehicle
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2018Automated guided vehicle is the most important research issues for mobile robot development. The important research issue of the automated guided vehicle (AGV) is navigation system in recent years. Navigation system can be divided into self-localization, path planning and obstacle avoidance for indoor service execution.
