    An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a computer-controlled mobile robot that follows wires, vision, or lasers to transport materials around a manufacturing facility or warehouse. An AGV consists of mechanical, electrical, and electronic components including a chassis, motor, control unit, and computer program for path planning. Common types of AGVs include driverless trains that pull trailers, pallet trucks that move palletized loads, and unit load carriers. AGVs offer advantages like reduced labor costs, flexibility, intelligence, and reduced production and warehouse costs.

    Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)

    A Computer-Controlled, Non-manned, Electric

    Powered Vehicle Capable of Handling Material An automated guided vehicle or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision or lasers. They are most often used in industrial applications to move materials around a manufacturing facility or a warehouse

    Robot
    A robot is a mechanical or virtual agent, usually an

    electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids to industrial robots, collectively programmed 'swarm' robots, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own.

    Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)


    AGV is a material handling system that uses independently operated, self-propelled vehicles guided along defined pathways.

    AGV system

    Types of AGVS
    Driverless trains: It consists of a towing vehicle that pulls one or more trailers to form a train.

    AGV pallet trucks: Pallet trucks are used to move

    palletized loads along predetermined routes.


    Unit load carriers: These are used to move unit

    loads from one station to another.

    AGV Pallet Truck

    Driverless train

    Types of navigation in AGVS


    Wire Embedded in floor Optical Tracks contrasting color Inertial Gyro with magnets in floor Laser Triangulation from reflective targets

    MICROCONTROLLER
    Atmega 16 microcontroller is used.
    Medium cost High speed grades 0 - 16 MHz

    High-performance
    operating voltage 4.5V to 5.5V UART(Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) Crystal oscillation speed:16 Mhz

    MOTOR DRIVER
    Controls motor using Logical signal from the

    microcontroller
    Controls motor speed using Pulse width modulation Electronically commands the motor to go forward,

    reverse, brake, and coast.

    MOTOR
    Actuator that converts electrical signal to rotational

    motion Contrary to usual belief it is an open loop control, A new technology of Back Emf interference is used to approximate a closed loop

    Movement mechanism
    The robot consider to be in origin

    It can move through the lines with the box enclosed by the lines assumed to be machines. By using geometry path can be calculated by the central computer which is sent wirelessly to the AGV. The microcontroller receives the path from the computer after the following considerations
    The path is not currently in use by other AGV The path does not cross the lines being used by other

    AGV. The path is under maintenance

    Safety
    Most industrial-use AGVs travel at a speed between 100

    and 300 feet per minute.

    Common AGV Applications


    Raw Material Handling
    Work-in-Process Movement Pallet Handling Finished Product Handling

    Advantages
    Reduces the labor cost.
    Flexible. Intelligent. Time consuming. Can significantly reduce production & warehouse

    costs. Transforming the materials handling industry.
