Abstract

This thesis deals with study and implementation of a cross-coupling controller which can enhance the path-tracking performance of optically guided AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). The AGV in this thesis is differential drive type and has front-side and rear-side optical sensors, which can identify the guiding path. When AGV from the path due to the inevitable error and the deviation must be corrected. It has been shown that compensation only the first term can lead to undesirable oscillatory results and even instability but compensating only the second term leads to a steady state offset error. Cross-coupling control directly minimizes the error by coordinating the motion of the two drive wheels. The cross-coupling controller is analyzed to evaluate its performance. The cross-coupling controller enhances transient performance of the controller is demonstrated by simulation and is compared with that of individual loop controller.
