NAVIGATION AND LOCALIZATION FOR THE AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE IN AUTOMATIC STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper presents the navigation and localization approach for the Automated Guided Vehicle utilized in mini load Automated Storage and Retrieval system. The AGV is controlled to follow the metal lines and stop exactly at the stations. The inductive proximity sensors are utilized to detect the way. Line detection algorithm is used to control the AGV to move and stop at the desired stations.
