Speed Control for DC Encoder Motor and Path Optimization in an Automated Guided Vehicle

Abstract

Automated guided vehicle （AGV） has variety of applications in the field of automotive and logistics. For stability of plant AGV should run at a constant speed. The AGV incorporates DC encoder motor which is controlled by Fuzzy controller and PID controller to acquire the constant speed. Response of the system with of fuzzy controller and PID controller is done. . The steady state error and overshoot of the system is reduced by the fuzzy logic controller. Dijkstra’s algorithm is applied to find an optimal path. This algorithm finds the shortest path between the source node and destination node.
