Modular Autonomous Industrial System for Internal Transport

Abstract

Material handling is really important in factories. It helps get work done quickly. Robots like Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are often used for this. Many of these robots use expensive technology. That makes them hard to use in projects or school work. This project is about making an cheap robot that can move things around. The robot uses an Arduino microcontroller. It also uses RFID technology to know where it is. Infrared sensors help the robot avoid hitting things. An ESP32 module lets the robot talk to devices wirelessly. The robot can even be controlled by hand. It has a lifting part that lets it pick up and put down things. The robot can work in two ways: manually and on its own. This makes it easy to test and use. The design was broken down into parts like sensing, control and movement. This made it easier to build and fx. Most testing was done with the software. The results showed that the robot responds fast to commands. Communication, through Bluetooth works well. The robot was not tested in a factory. It should work well in controlled areas. Overall this project shows that a working robot can be made with different parts by implementing different ideas. It would be a great robot that can work efciently with sensors and navigation. The robot can move things around on its own.
