PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation with adjunctive use of preserved amniotic membrane for surgical management of refractory glaucoma. METHODS Seven patients (5 female subjects) with refractory glaucoma were included in the study. An AGV (model FP7) was implanted in the usual manner and was covered with two layers of cryopreserved human amnio...

This article proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for solving navigation problems of an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). The system consists of four ANFIS controllers; two of which are used for regulating both the left and right angular velocities of the AGV in order to reach the target position; and other two ANFIS controllers are used for optimal heading adjustment in ord...

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) enhances the firm's flexibility and responsiveness to the ever-changing customer demand by providing a fast product diversification capability. Performance of an FMS is highly dependent upon the accuracy of scheduling policy for the components of the system, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). An AGV as a mobile robot provides remarkable industrial capa...

Introduction: Rabies is an important zoonosis that causes thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Although the terrestrial cycle, mainly transmitted by dogs, is controlled in Brazil, the aerial cycle remains a serious public health issue, besides the economic problem. In the aerial cycle, the haematophagous bat Desmodus rotundus is the main source of infection, where several different species ...

AIM To evaluate the results of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) in eyes with a failed trabeculectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 61 eyes with a failed trabeculectomy that underwent implantation of an AGV due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) on maximal medical therapy. Success was defined as IOP ≤ 21 mm Hg (criterion 1) or 20% reduction in IOP (criterion 2) wi...

En el ámbito industrial se utilizan con frecuencia Vehículos de Guiado Automático (AGV) para transporte mercancía puntual, normalmente sustituyendo a los medios manuales o las cintas transportadoras, así reducir costes operativos y errores humanos. Para aumentar rendimiento estos sistemas industriales que puedan realizar funcionalidades más avanzadas, es fundamental desarrollar modelos orientad...

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) merupakan sebuah alat yang berfungsi untuk mendistribusikan barang dari suatu tempat ke lain. Penghubung antar station menggunakan jalur garis berwarna hitam. Robot AGV terdiri atas sensor infra merah sebagai umpan balik PID, mikrokontroler pengolah data serta menjalankan alogaritma PID dan motor DC aktuator. ini bisa diaktifkan smartphone memanfaatkan sinyal blue...

The technology for collaborative robots and the way these technologies are used in current socio-technical work systems rapidly evolving industrial applications. In absence of prescribed safety assessment methods from normative standards, this paper explores capabilities an STPA analysis behaviour robot We applied to a with heavy-load manipulating arm gripper, mounted on AGV-type mobile base. s...

In this paper, we study the design and different methodology of automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems. This paper provides an overview on AGVS technology discusses recent technological developments and describes the formulation to control the traffic inside industrial work space.
