Abstract

Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a system designed to perform an unmanned travel of a vehicle. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) expands effectiveness and decrease costs by serving to mechanize a manufacturing facility or warehouse which can reduce costs and man power. There are numerous reasons which respect to the creation of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) around the world. Most of the reason is to beat the logistic issues that frequently happened in the workplaces and to make improvement to the facilities provided in the workplaces. This vehicle can also be used in many area especially dangerous places such as at harbour, surveying and military purpose. It has the benefit which can facilitates the physical strain on human workers by performing tiring errands, for example, lifting and conveying overwhelming materials for more effectively with no indications of exhaustion inching in. This AGV can carry the task more than human workers and their movements can be tracked electronically at any times. The purpose of this project is to produce a prototype of an AGV that fully autonomous “line following AGV” capable of following a pre-designed path marked on a surface. This AGV has flexible movement which during a turning point, only the wheels that needed to turn without disturbing the body movement.
