Quantification of the course shape by the homology in AGV transportation system based on knowledge of taxis.

Abstract

Recently, production site is a mainstream variant variable production. Accordingly, the importance of AGV is high because the construction of the production line is difficult. And it suggested the AGV transport system which introduced the movement characteristics on knowledge of taxis with a flexibility to the AGV. But, course shape a major impact on the AGV transport. In this paper, we proposed an evaluation method using homology of course shape that affect the transport. As a result, we quantified a course shape by the homology after having considered the number and placement of the pass on the course and was able to confirm the influence that a course shape gave conveyance.
