This paper presents the development of a mobile robot for the autonomous AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) which has no external guiding systems and navigates by vision. We chose indoor environments for the autonomous AGV and the environment was modified according to their structural complexity and artificial landmarks were used to modify the environments. Lower level functions which are generally important for the mobile robot should be realized at the first stage of the robot development. Those functions are detecting navigable areas coping with the disturbances mainly caused by illuminating conditions and generating trajectories avoiding stationary obstacles. In conclusion these functions enable our robot to be used as an autonomous AGV under modified conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
