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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
