Automated guided vehicle and method of operating an automated guided vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to an automated guided vehicle and a method for operating an automated guided vehicle. Upon arriving at a destination, then the automated guided vehicle is moved, based on a comparison of signals or data assigned to the environment detected by at least one sensor with signals or data which are assigned to a target position or to a target position and orientation of the automated guided vehicle at the destination, such that the actual position or the actual position and orientation is the same as the target position or target position and orientation at least within a pre-specified tolerance.

1. A method for operating an automated guided vehicle, the method comprising:
(a) automatically moving an automated guided vehicle from a starting point to a destination; (b) automatically detecting the environment at the destination using at least one sensor of the automated guided vehicle, after automatically stopping the automated guided vehicle at the destination; (c) comparing signals or data assigned to the environment detected by the at least one sensor with signals or data that are assigned to a target position or target position and orientation of the automated guided vehicle at the destination; and (d) automatically moving the automated guided vehicle based on the comparison of the signals or data assigned to the environment detected by the at least one sensor with signals or data that are assigned to a target position or target orientation of the automated guided vehicle, such that the actual position or actual position and orientation is the same as the target position or target position and orientation, at least within a pre-specified tolerance; wherein automatically moving the automated guided vehicle based on the comparison of the signals or data is performed by a positioning control or a positioning and orientation control; and wherein a command signal for the position control or the position and orientation control of the target position or the target position and orientation of the automated guided vehicle and a controlled variable for the position control or the position and orientation control of the actual position or the actual position and orientation of the automated guided vehicle are assigned to the destination.
