Industry Background: AGV mobile robots are essentially computer-controlled. With the cooperation of electronic control equipment, automatic guidance devices such as electromagnetic or optical, and intelligent industrial control hardware, AGV mobile robots have functions such as autonomous movement, automatic navigation, multi-sensor control, and network interaction. With the help of sensors such as lidar and depth cameras, AGV mobile robots also support functions such as safety identification, automatic obstacle avoidance, intelligent decision-making, and automatic execution. Efficient handling and precise sorting can be achieved without supervision, which maximizes work efficiency and quality in the space. Benefiting from factors such as the reduction of the current demographic dividend, the automation transformation and upgrading of the logistics and transportation industry, and the development of emerging fields, the application scenarios of AGV mobile robots continue to expand, showing good market development potential.

Application Requirements

1.High-Performance

For complex orders in warehousing, picking, shipping, and other processing requirements are huge. There are two laser cameras fixed on the AGV, one on the front for object detection and the other on the center for accurate positioning. A huge warehouse needs to map tens of thousands of locations and have systems track order numbers and individual products on pallets, while wirelessly transmitting the information back to a central control room for collection and monitoring. For these intensive processing tasks, powerful embedded computers with rich interfaces must be used to connect to cameras, motors and wireless networks.

2. Low-Power

AGV need to rest to recharge their batteries, so the longer they are at the charging station, the less time they will work. The computer controlling the embedded must have low power consumption to maximize battery life and then maintain AGV productivity in time between charges.

3. Stability

It puts forward higher requirements for the stability, reliability and environmental adaptability of the main control computer hardware platform in the AGV system, and supports 24-hour continuous and reliable operation.
