DEVICE TO DRIVE A TUG ROBOT FOR CONVEYING OBJECTS WITH EXCELLENT EFFICIENCY TO AVOID AN OBSTACLE AND EQUIPPED WITH A MAGNETIC POSITION TRACKING FUNCTION CAPABLE OF BEING OPERATED REGARDLESS OF A PLACE AND A DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A device to drive a tug robot for conveying objects with excellent efficiency to avoid an obstacle and a driving method thereof are provided to stably convey objects from a starting point to an RF tag unit through an obstacle avoiding mode and a magnetic position tracking mode without a separate distribution conveying facility.;CONSTITUTION: A device to drive a tug robot for conveying objects with excellent efficiency to avoid an obstacle and equipped with a magnetic position tracking function comprises a lift loading cart (100), a tug robot (200), and a central control server (300). The tug robot includes a main body, a second ultrasonic sensor, an infrared source unit, an infrared ray receiver unit, a video camera unit, a laser scanner unit, a common power supply unit, a wheel driving motor, a robot wheel unit, and a robot control module. The robot control module distinguishes whether or not the object moves through an infrared ray sensing signal with respect to the movement of an object sensed through the infrared ray receiver unit and a video signal with respect to the movement of the object filmed in the video camera unit. The robot control module interactively communicates with the central control server through a wireless network and receives or transmits the conveying information from the starting point to an RF tag unit.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
