An AGV Development Program
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

This is an adoptive design of ant colony system and has been generalised to AGV transport system, predetermined targets replacement results has been evaluated simulating four AGV in Mat lab by Particle Algorithm and fuzzification and simulating the operative environment with regard to constant velocity and different results has been compared to each other by changing robots’ location and replac...
متن کاملSolving the tandem AGV network design problem using tabu search: Cases of maximum workload and workload balance with fixed and non-fixed number of loops
A tandem AGV configuration connects all cells of a manufacturing area by means of non-overlapping, sin-gle-vehicle closed loops. Each loop has at least one additional P/D station, provided as an interface between adjacent loops. This study describes the development of three tabu search algorithms for the design of tandem AGV systems. The first algorithm was developed based on the basic definiti...
متن کاملThe Development of LOHAS Automated Guiding Vehicle
Automated Guiding Vehicle (AGV) is widely used in factories, hospitals, warehouses, and offices. It can also be controlled remotely to operate under hazardous environments that are unsuitable for human presence. On the other hand, medical advancement and the decrease of birth rate are pushing the world into population aging. For elderly or the physically/mentally-challenged patient, some of the...
متن کاملSimulation-based optimization for determining AGV capacity in a manufacturing system
We consider a manufacturing system that uses Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for material handling. Increasing the capacity of the AGVs used can lead to increased throughput and reduced inventory-holding costs. However, AGVs are typically expensive. Hence modeling the economics of buying an additional vehicle is an important problem from the standpoint of making a system lean. Optimization of ...
متن کاملFuzzy Control of AGV Based on Vision Based in Path Tracking
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...
