Abstract

AGV drives mechanisms are consist of a drive unit to make movement and a steering unit to control movement of robot. This project aims to examine the extent to which the impact drives mechanism on the design of AGV itself. Previously, AGV construction got problems, which is occur "slip" on the tires and balance problems while tow the trolley. The concept found in an AGV is similar to a mobile robot system. Therefore, the use of a mobile robot is suitable applied in this project based on system specification and implementation of a small-scale prototype model. A mobile robot with multi-functional features is developed, in which a mobile robot can be modified the structure into 3 forms drive mechanism such as front drive, rear drive and center drive. Several experiments are identified in accordance with the research to be implemented, where this experiment, divided into two parts that are actual (practical) and the graphical simulation software using SolidWork. There are a number of variables used in this experiment, which is the rate of consistency, speed, time taken, distance, angular velocity, and center of mass (COM). All the data will be recorded on the evaluation form and subsequently plotted graphically for analysis. Based on this research, the rear drives mechanism is the best option to meet the specifications of the AGV. In the industry, this concept can be applied and help developers in selecting structures of the AGV, in accordance with the application in the factory. In the market, there are many other forms of drive mechanisms can be studied and explored as an example, the concept of omnidirectional drives and holonomic drives. Both of these mechanisms, it is quite unique and can be used in future research.
