The important parts of the developing AGV model are the fabrication of each part and the design technology of body frame. In the present day, design of the body frame depends on the experience of the industrial place. the systematic data need for the optimal design of the frame for the case of model change. In this study, the strength of the early stage AGV(Automatic guided vehicle) is examined with the 3-dimensional finite elemnt method. In order to verify the finite element results, the computed results are compared with the experimental data from the strain-gage output. A New model was designed by rmoving some parts of the early staged(roughyly designed) model and choosing the thickness change of the rectangular-pipes.

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 proposed 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.

We designed and implemented a fork-type automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a laser guidance system. Most previous AGVs have used two types of guidance systems: magnetgyro and wire guidance. However, these guidance systems have high costs, are difficult to maintain with changes in the operating environment, and can drive only a pre-determined path with installed sensors. A laser guidance system was developed for addressing these issues, but limitations including slow response time and low accuracy remain. We present a laser guidance system and control system for AGVs with laser navigation. For analyzing the performance of the proposed system, we designed and built a fork-type AGV, and performed repetitions of our experiments under the same working conditions. The results show an average positioning error of 51.76 mm between the simulated driving path and the driving path of the actual fork-type AGV. Consequently, we verified that the proposed method is effective and suitable for use in actual AGVs.

무인 운반차의 주(main) 센서는 주행 경로를 검출하기 위한 가이드 센서이며, 이 센서는 8-개 또는 16-개 자기저항 소자를 10mm 간격으로 배치하여 로드(road) 검출처리를 하고 있다. 이 센서를 통하여 AGV의 자세 제어함에 있어 좌우 흔들림이 빈번하게 발생되며, 안정적인 AGV 주행을 위해서는 가이드 센서의 정밀도가 되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가이드 센서의 정밀도 향상을 위해 센서 신호처리 기법을 제안하고 구현하였다. 실험에서 센서의 평균정밀도가 2.84[mm]를 나타났으며, AGV 자세 제어를 위한 센서 설계에 제안된 기법이 효과적일 것이다.

스마트공장은 4차 산업혁명으로 잉태되는 핵심산업 중 하나이다. 스마트공장을 실현하기 위한 기술 중 무인운반차 기술은 초기 단계로 이를 구현하기 위해선 높은 비용이 필요하다. 저비용 AGV를 개발하기 위해선 많은 데이터가 요구되지만, 저장공간이 부족하고 AGV가 이동하므로 데이터 수집 방법이 제한된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 블루투스를 이용한 무선통신 기반 개발환경을 구축하고 이를 통해 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 차선 검출기를 개발하고자 한다. 이렇게 개발된 차선 검출기는 조명 환경의 변화나 그림자 유무와 관계없이 높은 차선 인식률을 보인다.

With the recent progress in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) in industry, increasing attention has been given to Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems. An AGV is a self-powered unit for transporting materials between stations without needing to be controlled by an operator. Such a system has several sensors to recognize the external state, and it is designed to travel between stations automatically without external assistance. To manage each device automatically in real time it requires a distributed controller with a main computer as the host, as well as a number of micro-controllers. In this study, an AGV system with dual motor drive was constructed. A Pentium 4 personal computer was set up as the main host for the distributed control, and this communicated with other micro-controllers in the management of the motor. The speed of each motor was also controlled by a micro-controller.

This paper presents to study the path tracking method of AGV(autonomous guided vehicle) which has a laser guidance system. An existing automatic guided vehicles(AGVs) which were able to drive on wired line only had a automatic guidance system. However, the automatic guidance systems that those used had the high cost of installation and maintenance, and the difficulty of system change according to variation of working environment. To solve such problems, we make the laser guidance system which is consisted of a laser navigation and gyro, encoder. That is robust against noise, and flexible according to working environment through sensor fusion. The laser guidance system can do a perfect autonomous driving. However, the commercialization of perfect autonomous driving system is difficult, because the perfect autonomous driving system must recognize the whole environment of working space. Hence, this paper studied the path tracking of AGV using laser guidance system without wired line. The path tracking method is consisted of virtual path generation method and driving control method. To experiment, we use the fork-type AGV which is made by ourselves, and do a path tracking experiments repeatedly on same experimental environment. In result, we verified that proposed system is efficient and stable for actual fork-type AGV.

The objective of this paper is to develop the new robust and adaptive control system against external environments as applying the probabilistic recognition which is one of the inherent properties of immune system, ability of learning and memorization, and regulation theory of immune network to the system under engineering point of view. In this paper, HIA(Humoral Immune Algorithm) PID controller using Neural Network Identifier was proposed to drive the autonomous guided vehicle(AGV) more effectively. To verify the performance of the proposed HIA PID controller, some experiments for the control of steering and speed of that AGV are performed.

본 논문에서는 실내에서 비전센서를 이용한 마커 영상 인식을 통해 무인이송차량(AGV)의 주행 경로를 제어하는 방안을 제안한다. 적외선센서와 랜드마크를 이용한 AGV 주행 제어 시스템의 경우 실내로 투과되어 들어 온 햇빛으로 인해 적외선 센싱 결과를 제대로 인식하지 못하는 공간이 발생하는 점과 작업 공간이 협소할 경우 랜드마크를 이용한 주행 경로 제어가 어려운 상황이 발생하였다. 이처럼 WSN 환경에서 센싱정보를 획득하지 못하는 상황을 보완할 수 있는 방안으로 마커와 AGV 간 상대 거리 정보를 지문 정보로 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 무선신호 수신세기(RSS)를 지문으로 사용하는 방식에 비해 마커 영상 이미지 크기를 지문으로 사용하면 상대적으로 신뢰도가 높은 위치 정보를 획득할 수 있다. 모형 AGV를 이용한 다양한 실험을 통해 상대 거리 정보를 지문으로 사용하는 방안의 타당성을 입증하였다. 본 논문의 연구 결과는 화장장에서 시신을 운구하는 무인이송차량 시스템에 적용될 것이다.
