AGV (automated guided vehicle) robot: Mission and obstacles in design and performance
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, ...
متن کاملA Branch and Bound Method for Finding Flow Path Designing of Agv Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the important factor in the design of automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) is the flow path design. This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm to determining the flow path by considering not only loaded-vehicles, but also empty-vehicles. The objective is to find the flow path, which will minimize total travel of loaded vehicles. We know that in branch-and-bound method a branch c...
متن کاملA Threshold Accepting Algorithm for Partitioning Machines in a Tandem Automated Guided Vehicle
Abstract : A tandem automated guided vehicle (AGV) system deals with grouping workstations into some non-overlapping zones , and assigning exactly one AGV to each zone. This paper presents a new non-linear integer mathematical model to group n machines into N loops that minimizes both inter and intra-loop flows simultaneously. Due to computational difficulties of exact methods in solving our pr...
