Embodiment Construction
[0032]The present invention is directed to an AGV 10 capable of following a magnetic marker 20 along predetermined routes within a facility, and a related method for determining position of the magnetic marker 20 relative to the AGV 10 and correcting the actual travel path of the AGV to match a desired travel path aligned with the magnetic marker 20. The AGV 10 is generally illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and may be formed in any size, shape, style, type, or configuration of a vehicle that is capable of driving along predetermined routes without a human operator. The AGV 10 may vary from small automatic carts up to large vehicles capable of carrying many of tons of material.
[0033]The magnetic sensor assembly 20 includes at least two magnetic field sensors or detectors 22 having orthogonal sense axes. The magnetic sensor assembly 20 includes or is in contact with a controller 30 on the AGV 10. The controller 30, which receives input from the magnetic field sensors 22, processes such inp...
