Coordination of AGVs in an Industrial Environment (Demo Paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This demonstration aims to show the decentralized coordination of the navigation system of highly autonomous Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) integrated in a real industrial environment. These vehicles are used for goods delivery tasks between different points of the production system. The navigation part consists on calculating and following the trajectory to reach the goal, which is calculated considering the plant layout and recalculated to avoid the non-modeled obstacles when they are sensed during the navigation. The coordination part is based on a decentralized architecture where each vehicle broadcasts the information about its state in the working environment, and by combining all these states in a local way, each AGV decides which action to take.

A Job Shop Scheduling and Location of Battery Charging Storage for the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
When the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are transferring the parts from one machine to another in a job shop environment, it is possible that AGVsstopon their guidepaths since their batteries are discharged.Consequently, it is essential to establish at least one Battery Charging Storage (BCS) to replace full batteries with empty batteries for the stopped AGVs. Due to non-predictable routes fo...

The main focus of this paper is to present a case study of a SLAM solution for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) operating in real-world industrial environments. The studied solution, called Gold-fish SLAM, was implemented to provide localization estimates in dynamic industrial environments, where there are static landmarks that are only rarely perceived by the AGVs. The main idea of Gold-fish S...

This paper addresses to the Cell Formation Problem (CFP) in which Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have been employed to transfer the jobs which may need to visit one or more cells. Because of added constraints to problem such as AGVs’ conflict and excessive cessation on one place, it is possible that AGVs select the different paths from one cell to another over the time. This means that the ti...

This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
