Abstract

The aim of this project is to study and developed a mobile robot that can tow a trolley automatically. It focus on a warehouse area at Johnson Controls Automotive Seating (M) Sdn. Bhd. Usually in the warehouse area, all the towing trolley activities were conducted by the operator from warehouse to the assembly line, approximately 40 meters per direction and the total weight of trolley estimated at 300 kg per trolley. So, this project is focusing on design and development of an AGV where the AGV will be tested for it’s performance after the development complete. SolidWorks 20011 is the main software that is used to design the AGV in this project. Two mecanum wheels with 120W DC brush motor are used to move the robot and the AGV will use line following technique to perform the navigation task by using Advance Auto-Calibration Line Sensor which is placed at the front and back side of the AGV. For the assessment performance, the AGV will be tested in two types of experiments, where the first experiment is to identify the capability of the AGV to detect different size of lining tape. The second experiment will be a test to identify the performance of the robot to navigate along a given path by performing the line following task.
