utomated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been operating effectively in factories for decades. These vehicles have successfully used strategies of deliberately structuring the environment and adapting the process to the automation. The potential of computer vision technology to increase the intelligence and adaptability of AGVs is largely unexploited in contemporary commercially available vehicles. ...

In a competitive business environment, producing goods on time plays a very important role. In addition to regular control complexities in manufacturing environments, some unforeseen technical problems may affect the efficiency of production. The breakdown of automated guided vehicles (AGV) during manufacturing is one of these problems. This problem generally requires an instantaneous solution ...

United States and European safety standards have evolved to protect workers near Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV's). However, performance standards for AGV's and mobile robots have only recently begun development. Lessons can be learned from research and standards efforts for mobile robots applied to emergency response and military applications. Research challenges, tests and evaluations, and pr...

Abstract A typical manufacturing system requiring a high degree of automation usually includes warehouse, AGV, CNC, assembly line and laser marking equipment. Among them, AGV plays an important role on the overall operating quality efficiency. This paper studies control strategy under background system. Firstly two modes motion path are defined; flow chart movement between any points in is anal...

An excellent navigation, guidance, and control (NGC) system had a high impact on trajectory tracking the following scenarios. Both scenarios will include heading, tangent, velocity parameters in computation. However, design problem is not new issue unmanned surface vehicle (USV) autonomous ground vehivle (AGV) due to this constraint faced by many researchers since early these autonomy developme...

This paper examines to what extent automated guided vehicles’ (AGV) batteries can be used as a mobile electrical energy storage increase flexibility and reduce peak loads in manufacturing plants. First, it is indicated, demand response shaving mean. Then, existing battery applications for are presented. Finally, the benefits potential of using AGVs company illustrated, after an approximate cost...

Automated Guided Vehicles (or AGVs for short) have become an important option in material handling. In many applications, such as container terminals, the service area is often arranged into rectangular blocks, which leads to a mesh-like path topology. Therefore, developing efficient algorithms for AGV routing on the mesh topology has become an important research topic. In this paper, we presen...

The treatment of refractory glaucoma (RG) is challenging. The commonly adopted strategy in RG treatment is a glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation, which despite its radical nature may not always provide the desired intraocular pressure (IOP) levels for a long term. This review is based on the scientific literature on Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation for refractory glaucoma. The te...

Abstract: In machine job shops with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) as mean of transportation of job parts, it’s usually hard to determine the optimal fleet size of AGVs for achieving a desired performance. In this paper a heuristic AGV dispatching algorithm is constructed based on the concept of ideal pipeline and Petri Net theory to balance the job part scheduling and AGV dispatching that mi...
