Chapter 1Project descriptionIntroductionBackground of the studyRobotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacturing and application. It requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics, and software, and is usually accompanied by a broad working knowledge of many subjects. An automated guided vehicle or automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the ground, or uses vision or lasers. Automated guided vehicles, computer-controlled and wheeled, are load carriers that move across the floor of a facility without an operator or driver on board. Their movement is directed by a combination of software and a sensor-based guidance system. Because they move in a predictable path, with controlled acceleration and deceleration and automatic obstacle detection bumpers, AGVs ensure safe movement of loads. AGVs are most often used in industrial applications to move materials around a manufacturing facility in support of production lines, storage or retrieval. of materials in warehouse, or other movements in support o...
