Problems solved by technology

However, with the wide application of AGV cars in various industries, the shortcomings of traditional AGV cars have gradually emerged.
Traditional AGV cars often use electromagnetic or light belts for automatic guidance. During the application process, they will encounter problems such as high cost of transport rail construction, easy to be affected by the environment, and large amount of engineering and capital costs for changing routes. In order to solve the above problems, this paper The invention innovatively uses machine vision technology, and the AGV main control system recognizes the feature points (mainly in color) on the motion path simply constructed by PA tape, so as to realize the automatic recognition of the route. At the same time, the Dijkstra algorithm is used to realize the most surface The selection of the optimal path has important economic value and practical significance for improving the production efficiency of the workshop
