Design and Analysis for AGV Systems Using Competitive Co-evolution

  • Chapter
Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems 8

Abstract

Recently, material-handling systems with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are being used in manufacturing factories. These programmable AGVs circulate on a guide-path and transport materials in factories (see Fig.1).
