This paper discusses the integration of intelligent systems and the use of sensor fusion within a Multi-Level Fusion Architecture (MUFA) designed for controlling the navigation of a tele-commanded Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV). The AGV can move autonomously within any office environment, following instructions issued by client stations connected to the Internet and reacting accordingly to dif...

In this paper, we present a navigation control algorithm for Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) that move in industrial environments including static and moving obstacles using D* algorithm. This algorithm has ability to get paths planning in unknown, partially known and changing environments efficiently. To apply the D* search algorithm, the grid map represent the known environment is generated. ...

The purpose is to report on the safety and efficacy of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV, New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA, USA) implantation for the management of refractory pediatric glaucoma observed during one-year follow up period. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 10 eyes, all younger than 11 years, with pediatric glaucoma that underwent AGV implantation for medicamentous...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant and the Baerveldt implant for the treatment of refractory glaucoma. METHODS We comprehensively searched four databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library databases, selecting the relevant studies. The continuous variables, namely, intraoc...

For automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), maximizing the operating time with maximum energy efficiency is most important factor that increases work efficiency. In this study, fuel-cell-powered AGV (FCAGV) system was modeled and optimized control design were carried out to obtain high tracking performance minimum power consumption. Firstly, a full mathematical model of FCAGV, which involves AGV, fue...

With the rapid development of modern industry, application automated mechanical and electronic technology is gradually increasing, research on automatic path planning also receiving increasing attention. In this environment technological progress, growth knowledge economy, fierce competition, industrial intelligence has become an indispensable part social development. Industrial Automated Guide...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and complications of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation in patients with refractory glaucoma. DESIGN Retrospective study. SUBJECTS The study involved 302 refractory glaucoma patients who underwent AGV implantation and had a minimum follow-up of 6 months between March 1995 and December 2013. METHODS An ...

PURPOSE The Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant is designed to prevent early postoperative hypotony. There is evidence of variation in hypotony rates in clinical trials which may be due to surgical technique variation, entry site leakage or valve defects from 'over priming'. We describe a simple preimplantation gravity driven test to assess valve function after priming that may reduce hypotony r...

A tandem, one vehicle per loop, approach to Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) guide path design has been proposed as a more efficient and flexible alternative to traditional AGV system design. The tandem design can substantially simplify the design task while providing even further flexibility for changes in production system layout and operation. Tandem guide paths, however, have potentia...
