Abstract

This paper deals with further development of an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and its navigation method. The AGV can be found at the Logistic Institute at University of Miskolc. It was developed for a High-Tech Laboratory in 2011 by Gamma Digital Ltd. The system can perform delivering, picking and placing of materials.
The AGV has a differential-drive with two caster wheels. A Mitsubishi 6-DoF industrial robot is mounted on it. A Wago PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and a Linux-based PC handle the inputs and outputs. The PLC controls the lamps, switches and buttons. For safety reasons two SICK short range laser detectors were mounted on the front and rear side of the AGV. The navigation is performed by a SICK laser positioning sensor. The servomotors are controlled by Dugong servo drives, the signals for these drives are controlled by the PC. With the help of the PC both of the controllers are programmed to handle the navigation system and the safety sensors.
The original software was corrected as regard adjusting voltage and to sophisticate, i.e., to smooth the start-stop system. A navigation method will be also described in the paper, which uses servomotors, laser pointers, microcontrollers, wireless modules and light sensors.
