2305 Design and Development of Low Cost AGV for Educational Purposes

Abstract

An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a set of cooperative driverless vehicle, used on manufacturing floor and coordinated by a centralized or distributed computer-based control system. The main focus of this study is to develop an AGV with the convenient materials, simple and more importantly reducing the cost and increasing the flexibility. For this purpose the AGV is basically modeled and designed where the flexibility of the system is improved through the capability of the AGV to pull/bring trollies in a manufacturing environment by lifting up the trolley using an electrical car jack. Moreover, the AGV is to be used for educational purposes.
