Research on AGV trackless guidance technology based on the global vision

Abstract

With the change of manufacturing mode and the progress of science and technology, the traditional manufacturing industry has gradually developed to intelligent manufacturing and flexible manufacturing. To achieve factory transformation, Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) is indispensable. In this paper, an AGV trackless guidance technology based on global vision is proposed. Firstly, the global vision camera is used to obtain the image of the AGV driving area, and then the obstacle information and position information of the AGV are obtained by image processing technology. Secondly, the A* algorithm is used to intelligently plan the AGV driving path, and the wireless network communication is used to control the AGV driving according to the planned path. Experiments show that the method is feasible and has the advantages of high flexibility, high precision, low cost and strong expansibility, which is of great significance to the realization of intelligent warehouse and unmanned chemical plant.
