Design of cooperative control method for double AGV manipulator

Under the influence of emerging concepts such as “German Industry 4.0” and “Made in China 2025”, AGVs have become an important part of industrial automation and logistics automation systems. When large parts such as aircraft wings and high-speed rail cars need to be transported, single AGVs reveal the disadvantages of weak structural strength and insufficient load-bearing. To solve such problems, multiple AGVs can be used to collaboratively transport large parts. In this paper, a cooperative control method of robotic arms on dual AGVs is proposed. Firstly, the hardware analysis of AGVs and robotic arms is carried out, while a cooperative algorithm of dual robotic arms combining artificial potential field algorithm and linear interpolation algorithm is designed, and finally a test analysis is carried out to verify the effectiveness of cooperative motion control of dual robotic arms.
