AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing AGVs lack flexibility in factories, cannot adjust routes temporarily, and are unusable when the control system is powered off or outside its coverage area, resulting in unstable material delivery and easy material shortages.

⚗Method used

Using swarm networking technology, a temporary material delivery chain is built through wireless communication between AGVs. Directional communication is achieved using ranging and gimbal mechanisms to establish a temporary material delivery area and continue to operate even in the event of a power outage.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables flexible material delivery of AGVs within the factory, allowing them to operate normally even when the control system is powered off or outside its coverage area, thus avoiding material shortages and improving production stability and efficiency.
