System improvement for increasing the maneuverability of an existing automatic guided vehicle
Since 2010, an AGV system consisting of mechanical structure, 4 wheels which is driven and steered by 2 DC motors each, power supply and system controller. In the previous developments, there are errors discovered in this AGV maneuverability. The main objective of this thesis is to improve the existing AGV system to increase the maneuverability. The improvement consists of mechanical refinement, establishment of on-board controller, and control strategy improvement. From the refinement of the mechanical components, the straight maneuvering error of the AGV is reduced. The establishment of an on-board controller has also increase the AGV system mobility. In addition, the improvement of control strategy also enhanced the maneuverability of the AGV by reducing more maneuvering error. However this AGV system still needs more development in the future especially in its maneuver performance. In addition some, measurement has proven its error in maneuver performance which will also be discussed for future consideration.
