Automated Guided Vehicle control using wireless network interface
Abstract
This paper discusses an alternative way to control Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) by designing, implementing, and testing both hardware and software solutions for a wireless network-controlled AGV.
The network-controlled AGV was tested in a wireless local area network setup. A five-station track was laid out on the floor for the AGV to follow. Computers on the local area network were allowed to connect to the AGV via their web browsers to instruct the AGV to proceed to a specified station, to change its motor speed settings and to follow other commands.
The designed wireless network-controlled AGV performed as expected. The results of this study can become the foundation for giving AGVs, as well as any other industrial robots, a globalized control scheme by interfacing them to a much wider network such as the internet.
