This project is a continuation of a previous project in which I realised a working prototype of an AGV with radio frequency identification, where I designed the main assembly components, chassis and case in Catia V5, then printing the parts in a 3D printer. The educational stand is represented by a PLS (pallet-lifting system) inspired from automotive-process flows powered by an actuator, drivers and scissors-type lifting system. Regarding the robot, the sensors are as follows: one is a HC-SR04 ultrasonic obstacle-avoiding sensor, another is used in guidance/tracking the line, a kit with 3 infra-red QTR-8 sensors and a RFID sensor, compatible with industrial tags in order to make the reading and differentiation of the route to which the AGV is subjected; when the robot detects the tag, an informative message will be displayed on AGV by a 32bit-1602 display. Also, the body of the robot is composed by chassis, accessories, case and cover.
