Automated Guided Vehicle: Prototyping and Implementation

Abstract

This paper covers the analysis, design, implementation and simulation of a Sustainable Automated Guided Vehicle. The end goal was to have an AGV that can replace manual labor using low cost solutions to make it feasible and viable; the AGV was designed to bear a load of 30kg, with the ability to navigate using proximity sensors and calculate the shortest path from the node it’s currently at, to the target destination that has been given as an input. The AGV used RFID sensors to sense nodes and calculate its current position.
