1. A sensor system for use with an automated guided vehicle (AGV), comprising:
a sensor housing being attached to the AGV; and a sensor board being at least partially located within the sensor housing and including a plurality of sensor units electronically coupled to a sensor control module, wherein each of the sensor units interacts with an indicating system that follows a pre-determined path along the ground and each of the sensor units includes:
a sensor array having a plurality of sensor elements, the sensor elements take sensor readings regarding the position of the AGV with respect to the indicating system;a conditioning circuit being electronically coupled to the sensor array and having a plurality of filter/amplifiers, the filter/amplifiers process the sensor readings from the sensor array; anda conversion circuit being electronically coupled to the conditioning circuit, the conversion circuit converts the sensor readings from the conditioning circuit for transmission to the sensor control module. |
