Development of multi-sensor information fusion and AGV navigation system

The homing truck-AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guiding device, such as Guided by the move to routes, which has the function of security protection and a variety of transfer truck, AGV belongs to the Wheeled Mobile Robot (WMR-Wheeled Mobile Robot) category [1]. In industrial applications, AGV is powered by battery and controls the driving route through computer, and completes the handling of goods through inertial navigation, magnetic navigation, electromagnetic navigation, lidar navigation, visual navigation and other navigation methods. On the basis of summarizing the previous research results, this paper briefly reviews the overall research status, points out the research problems encountered in the current exploration and the future research trend, in order to provide reference for further research in this field.
