Popis: This research developed a vision navigation autonomous mobile robot and combined it with industrial automated production line. Due to traditional TFT-LCD production lines, the load/unload depends on Manual Guided Vehicle (MGV) or Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). However, it needed to construct many tracks so that the MGV or AGV can move. The track is high cost and is not easy to adjust. Hence, our research developed an autonomous mobile robot with vision navigation technology to determine the location of TFT-LCD panel and the obstruction in the moving process. Furthermore, we successfully developed an intelligent vision navigation autonomous mobile robot in this research. It not only improved the shortcoming of setting up a lot of tracks, but also avoided the obstructions automatically to enhance the safety.
