Abstract

Flexible intralogistics systems use automated guided vehicles (AGV) to transport goods. In assembly and warehouses, AGVs and human workers often work side by side. For optimal navigation, AGVs must consider human movement and estimate future positions of workers. Using real-time locating systems (RTLS) to improve human-robot collaboration enables more energy-efficient and safer AGV wayfinding strategies. This paper gives a summary on the topics RTLS, AGV wayfinding and trajectory prediction and introduces the momentum-based approach to predicting future worker positions in factories and warehouses. The results show that ultra-wideband-based RTLS are very well suited for trajectory prediction in the production sector.
