Study and implementation of infrared digital guiding on AGV

An automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is one of key equipment of logistic automation systems. The guiding mode possesses great influence as the controlling feature of the AGV. The paper presents a method of guiding an AGV by infrared digital signal, and introduces the modulating process of the guiding signal and the implementation method. The simulated test result indicates that infrared digital guiding has a great deal of good characteristics.
