Variable offset positioning antenna array for enhanced guidance of automated guided vehicles (AGVS) |
摘要 |
An automated guided vehicle (AGV) adapted to follow a guide wire or the like, the AGV comprising at least one antenna in communication with a master control system and having a programmable microprocessor that enables the AGV to dynamically assume a linear, angular or skewed offset position relative to the guide wire or the like in accordance with instructions provided by the control system. |

1. An automated storage system for storing a plurality of objects in storage locations, the automated storage system comprising a master control computer, a guide wire network, and a plurality of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) each having an onboard microprocessor and a wireless receiver for receiving control commands from the master control computer, wherein the master control computer dynamically instructs each AGV to assume a desired offset position relative to the guide wire network by sending control commands to the AGVs. |
