  • Abstract
    Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) are being used more frequently in a manufacturing environment. Developing a platform that could be easily reconfigured is perhaps a more desirable option for a user with low capacity outputs. This research concentrates on an AGV and the development of the actuators and sensors, as well as the mounting of such for navigation and functionality, on such a vehicle.
