...Jia Chen Tu; Xiao Ming Qian; Pei Huang Lou Purpose The paper aims to propose general design rules and route plan for automated guided vehicle system (AGVS). The AGVS is applied to automated meter verification areas through a case study of meter verification shop floor to verify the feasibility...

... the fact that security lasers are a mandatory equipment in most applications using AGVs. Therefore, reusing this equipment for localization purposes means that it is not necessary to use a second navigation laser on top of the robot, which leads to lower equipment costs. Furthermore, in some applications...
