Abstract

Automatic guided vehicle(AGV) in the factory has an important role to advance the flexible manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a novel object-transportation control algorithm of cooperative AGV systems to apply decentralized control scheme based on virtual-passivity. It is shown that the cooperative AGV systems ensure stability and the convergence to scaled multiple of each desired velocity field for multiple AGV systems. Finally, the application of p reposed virtual passivity-based decentralized control algorithm via system augmentation is applied to be the tracking a circle. Also, the simulation results for the object-transportation by two AGV systems illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.
