Automated Guided Vehicle
This design project is one of the best design for the Automated Guided Vehicle in the Engineering Design 3 course in which students from 3 different program, Robotics & Mechatronics, Electrical & Electronics, Software Engineering experience all phases of the design process, including: problem definition, generation and evaluation of concepts, engineering analysis and testing, and preparation of design documentation. The context for the project is that the company RMIT-SST has won the bid to develop an autonomous robot to be trialed in a modern manufacturing company and each team needs to design and build a robotic prototype to distribute cargo from the production line to a specific warehouse depending on the type of the cargo.
Students will have to complete 3 important milestones such as Proposal Submission, Mid-term Project Demonstration & Report Submission, and Final Project Demonstration & Report Submission.
The robot is designed with 4 fundamental requirements to be completed including manually remote control, path following, obstacle avoidance, and object recognition.
Student working process:
1. Requirement Analysis and Overview Design,
2. Manual Control and Line-tracking System design,
3. Mechanical Frame Design and Enhancement,
4. Obstacle Detection System Design,
5. Management Plan,
6. Testing and Performance Evaluation,
7. Report and Presentation Completion, and
8. Future Work Analysis.
