Overview Automated Guided Vehicle Using Line Following Detection.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

In our life, some problem occurs on material transportation, storage and retrieval system. This is because we don‟t have automated system in our factory or our house, so we have to create an automated line system that can make our life more easily. For storing system, we can make the easy way to store the item using line mobile robot. Nowadays some factory used human power to store their item or component at warehouse. For production line system, usually we have used human power to place some component on tray at production line. After that, we can reduce our time for store the item or object. That because in factory, worker still needs to fine the empty place to put their item. It will take more time to find the empty place. By using line mobile robot, we just need to put the thing on that robot then the mobile robot will automatically move to the empty place that we can put our item Some example in production line, the operator need manually take some component or semi-product at pick-up place when at their point is empty. It will take more time to move from their point to the pick-up place and can reduce the outputs. To solve this problem we have use automated line mobile robot system, where the operator only need to pressed some button then the line mobile robot will reach at their point with the component. This project is to making the automated guided vehicle AGV using line following detection. This AGV usually used in material transportation in an automated production line or in an automatic storage and retrieval system. This typical project consist of the hardware the vehicle consist of mechanical device while controlled by electronics part and some algorithm. For this project, we used the PIC to integrated the sensor and the motor as shown in figure 1.1 FIGURE 1.1 Block Diagram Of Line Following Mobile Robot
