A motion control system for a free-ranging AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) is developed. The emphasis is on the design and implementation of accurate tracking control. A vehicle of two independent driving wheel.~ is used in this work. There are two DC motors driving the front wheels and a free castor

An algorithm for determining the optimal, unidirectional flow path for an automated guided vehicle system with a given facility layout is presented. The problem is formulated as an integer program. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by vehicles subject to the constraint that th
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) play an important role in flexible manufacturing systems. One of the key issues of using AGVs is the conflict-free routing especially when the AGV system is bi-directional. Two classes of routing algorithms have been proposed in the literature: Optimised pre-planning
