Abstract

Automated Guided Vehicle or also known as AGV in the industrial sector is another technological enhancement in material handling field whether for the complete part or material transportation from one place to another. Normally, the AGV are used in manufacturing and warehousing storage sector. AGV technology is designed to work automatically or without need a guidance from workers. In this study, line following AGV are proposed. The system are using an advance auto calibrating line following sensor that used to give an input signal. The data then send through microcontroller in order to control the wheel rotation and the navigation of the AGV. The methods to complete this project are starting with designing programming in Micro C, commissioning the line following sensor into the mobile robot with complete circuit wiring and analysis of the project. The biggest concern is to ensure that the robot are able to move according the line that have been marked on the floor which already the path is already predefine as white line. To analyze the project, a navigation experiment is done with two different paths and each path is repeated until 4 times experiments. The experiment result will be represent using line graph in order to know the effectiveness of the mobile robot movement using line following sensor. The result shows a few errors during all experiments but it is still a good result because the mobile robot able to follow the line as expected by using the line following sensor. Lastly, as conclusion the significant finding in this project is proven that line following sensor are able to be applied as line following Automated Guided Vehicle.
