AN INDUSTRIAL AUTONOMOUS GUIDED ROBOT

摘要

There has been much interest on achieving educational and research goals by the use of mobile robot platforms. However these platforms are not usually composed by industrial of the shelf solutions. This paper presents the kind of industrial sensors that can be used in an autonomous mobile robot. The vehicle is supposed to follow a track, make choices on its way respecting visual indications of traffic lights, navigate inside a tunnel and park inside a given area. The original part about this AGV is the implementation by use of available industrial equipment rather than the common PC and/or PICs combination.
