Hassle - Free Load Carrying Using Automated Guided Vehicle

Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving world, where efficiency and sustainability are paramount, businesses are seeking technologies that not only save time and drive profits but also align with their sustainable goals. In response to this demand, a prototype of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is developed.AGVs are versatile robotic platforms designed to navigate predefined paths while handling heavy loads of materials. The AGV system addresses these needs by utilizing cost-effective RFID tags and an RFID reader for efficient load tracking and navigation. Additionally, it incorporates two infrared (IR) sensors for path detection, an L298N motor driver for precise motor control, an Arduino microcontroller as the central processing unit, and an HC-05 Bluetooth module for wireless communication.By integrating these components, along with feedback control loops and path planning algorithms, The AGV is observed to be an efficient load carrier and can navigate reliably in dynamic environments. Above all, this solution not only saves time and enhances profitability but also promotes sustainability by optimizing resource utilization and minimizing manual intervention.
