At present, the relatively mature navigation technologies of AGV include: magnetic stripe navigation, two-dimensional code navigation, laser navigation, visual navigation, etc. At the earliest, mobile robots mainly used magnetic stripe navigation and QR code navigation. The advantage of these two navigation methods is that they are cheap and relatively low cost, but the disadvantage is that once the production content and process flow change, the track needs to be redeployed. Not only is the process cumbersome, but also prone to human interference or damage, leading to misjudgment. Therefore, such traditional mobile robots cannot really help factories. That didn't change until the advent of laser SLAM navigation.
The so-called SLAM refers to simultaneous localization and map creation technology. With this technology, mobile robots can independently locate and navigate in unknown environments without laying any tracks in advance. This way, the trouble of deploying the track is saved. It not only improves work efficiency, but also saves deployment cost and time. Therefore, in recent years, laser SLAM navigation robots have attracted more and more attention.
Laser scene navigation AGV, without any auxiliary positioning, can be used immediately, and maintenance is simple. When the laser scene navigation AGV encounters an obstacle, it can automatically detour, perform different tasks in different locations, and automatically adjust to meet the changing environment and production requirements.
