Automated Guided Vehicle
The AGV was my final year project during my undergraduate studies. The task that we outlined was to provide a vehicle capable of going autonomously from one location to another on a shopfloor.
The AGV was a 4 wheel omni directional drive. It was based on mechanum wheels. In order to help it move from location A to location B, feedback from optical encoders and LASER sensors were taken.
Following is the model of the AGV in SolidWorks:
The actual working prototype was as follows:
The AGV could operate in the autonomous mode as well as in the manual mode using a console. The maximum speed achieved was 300cm/sec.
The following project report explains in detail the algorithms used along with the manufacturing:
