Low-Cost Autonomous Mover

The Industrie 4.0 model factory of the FH Aachen is primarily updated and expanded through student projects and final theses. In this project, a cost-effective driverless transport system (AGV) is to be developed and implemented, which can connect the various processing stations of the model factory with each other.

The project includes the simulation, construction and commissioning of the AGV in an interdisciplinary team.

The aim is to develop a dedicated AGV for a payload of up to 100 kg. The AGV is to be designed for use in typical production environments; the integration of the necessary sensors and logic for path planning and personal safety is therefore an essential part of the project.
