Automated guided vehicle(AGV) for industrial sector

Abstract

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is the future drift that provides unmanned transportation — that transports all kinds of products without human intervention in production, logistic, warehouse and distribution environments. The key pro of AGV is that they can operate as a standalone system with higher efficiency. The proposed work has a predominant feature of AGV in which the EPROM is used for holding the data. Taking up the advantage of EPROM (non volatile), the robot can retain and progress with their current execution even when the system comes back to the powered state after a period of power loss at crisis conditions. The AGV's serves many of the industries with greater efficacy compared to the manual functioning. The AGV is implemented using ATMEGA 328 controller which has a remarkable EPROM compared to other controllers. The controller is being assisted by the ultrasonic sensor that enables the obstacle detection capability in the bot. The AGV can be further promoted to the elevation of automation by its artificial intelligence that is being controlled by Bluetooth / Wi-Fi.
