Abstract -
This project aims at reviewing of various material related to Automated guided vehicles (AGV). A Automated guided vehicles (AGV)is a vehicle that follows a predetermined route. AGVs can be used in warehouse handling, energy and defense applications, and can be used to improve healthcare systems. It works in the same way that a robot can sense a certain environment and react to it. Since Efficient material handling is the most important part of the manufacturing and distribution process this implies material handling must be done accurately, on time, safely, efficiently and at low cost without damaging the material. Considering that AGV is used to optimize work in almost all fields, in this project, we are talking about development of a product AGV that moves along a fixed route on a flat surface with a DC motor, Users can set the path, the sensor module is used to transfer information between the controller and the motor controller, the controller then moves the car forward, left, right and stops. AGVs are widely used in industrial and public spaces, as well as in hazardous industrial areas where people cannot enter. AGV have been used for transmitting materials and parts between the two workstation or points. This is used to reduce human effort and time. In this project we are making four wheeled prototype that can move along the path from one station to other station. The AGV uses hall effect magnetic sensor to follow the path, the is made up of the magnetic strip or simply magnetic tape. The controller used is arduino uno and motor driver IC L293D which controls all the navigation of AGV. No human intervention is required during its task execution. Safety measures are provided to AGV by using fire sensor and obstacle detection with the help of buzzer.
