AGV Robot Navigation

Obstacle Avoidance Navigation Solutions

LiDAR and safety edge have their own characteristics in the application of AGV (automated guided vehicle) robot obstacle avoidance navigation, etc., and together they have improved the intelligence level and operation safety of AGV. LiDAR provides strong technical support for AGV through high-precision positioning and navigation capabilities and intelligent obstacle avoidance functions; while safety edge as an auxiliary means further improves the safety and adaptability of AGV. The combination of the two can make AGV operate more safely and efficiently in complex environments.
Safety touch edges are usually installed on the outer edge of AGV or parts that are easy to contact obstacles. When LiDAR cannot directly detect certain obstacles (such as transparent objects or low obstacles), safety touch edges can be used as a supplementary means to ensure the safe operation of AGV. Through the precise navigation and obstacle avoidance functions of LiDAR, AGV can achieve efficient and accurate transportation tasks in complex environments, thereby improving work efficiency and accuracy. It is widely used in the fields of industrial automation and logistics, helping to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs.

Obstacle Avoidance Navigation Solution Features

Laser Radar Scanner

LiDAR Obstacle avoidance and AGV navigation:

The high-speed rotation of the LiDAR motor enables the laser beam to quickly scan the entire horizontal plane, thereby obtaining information about the surrounding environment in real time. The generated two-dimensional point cloud map can intuitively display information such as the location, shape and size of the target object. Help robots perceive the surrounding environment, avoid obstacles and plan paths.

Safety edge

Application of safety edge in AGV: 

The safety edge is flexible and can be easily fixed on the edges of moving parts. In automation equipment such as AGV carts, welding robots, and packaging machinery, the safety edge is used to detect obstacles and the approach of people. When an object exerts a certain amount of pressure on the sensor during movement, and the pressure exceeds the pressure range, a signal output will be generated, causing the control circuit to respond, and the device will immediately stop moving to prevent collision and injury.

Application of LiDAR and Safety Edge on rail transfer vehicles

Application of LiDAR and Safety Edge on rail transfer vehicles:

LiDAR has a very strong obstacle avoidance capability. Once a potential collision risk is detected, the LiDAR will respond quickly and transmit the information to the AGV control system, so that the AGV can adjust its path in time to avoid collision with obstacles.
As an auxiliary obstacle avoidance method for AGV, the safety edge is usually installed on the outer edge of the AGV or in areas that are prone to contact with obstacles. When used in conjunction with sensors such as LiDAR, it can further improve the safety of the AGV.

Safety Sensor Recommendations

  • Safety Light Curtains

    Safety light curtains are an important safety device that provides effective protection for personnel and equipment and helps reduce accidents in the workplace. Safety light curtains consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits multiple light beams, and the receiver receives and detects whether the light beams are complete. When a person or object enters the range of the light curtain, the light beam will be blocked, triggering the safety system to stop operating or take other safety measures.
    Safety light curtains are widely used in situations where a safe distance between personnel and machines is required, such as automated production lines, mechanical processing equipment, industrial robots, etc. It can effectively prevent accidents caused by misoperation or accidental contact with dangerous areas.

  • Multi-sided access protection light curtains

    The safety light curtain uses reflectors to change the transmission direction of light to form a 2-, 3- or 4-sided protection area. It is an efficient and reliable safety protection measure. Through the rational application of this technology, the safety performance of mechanical equipment can be significantly improved and personnel can be protected from injury. It is widely used in various mechanical equipment that require safety protection, such as stamping machines, shearing machines, injection molding machines, robot assembly lines, etc. In these scenarios, mechanical equipment may produce high-speed moving parts or sharp edges during operation. If personnel accidentally enter these areas, serious injuries may occur. Therefore, it is very necessary to install safety light curtains in these areas.

  • Measuring light curtains

    As a high-precision, non-contact measuring tool, the measuring light curtain plays an increasingly important role in modern industrial automation. It is suitable for high-precision detection and measurement, including dimension measurement, spray positioning, parts counting, contour detection, precision correction, hole detection, shape detection, edge and center positioning, online product dimension detection, etc. It uses a scanning method, cooperates with the controller and its software, to realize the function of monitoring and measuring the external dimensions of objects.

  • Safety mat

    Industrial safety mats and safety edges are devices that achieve safety protection through pressure sensing. They use pressure-sensitive sensor technology. When subjected to a set pressure (i.e. an object of a certain weight), the sensor will trigger a signal to stop the machine from running, thereby protecting the operator from potential dangers.

  • Ultrasonic sensor

    The working principle of ultrasonic sensors is based on the characteristics of sound waves. It first emits high-frequency mechanical sound waves, which are reflected when they encounter objects. By calculating the time or energy between the emission and reception of sound waves, the precise distance or state of the target object can be obtained.
    Ultrasonic sensors are also suitable for detecting objects in different states. Whether it is liquid, transparent material, reflective material or particulate matter, ultrasonic sensors can perform effective detection. This makes it widely used in many fields such as industrial automation, robot navigation, liquid level measurement, and obstacle detection.

  • Laser Distance Sensor

    Laser distance sensors are sensors that use laser technology to measure the position and distance of an object. Based on the working principle of time flight and triangulation, the time it takes to send a laser beam to the target object and back is measured. By measuring the time delay (or phase difference) and the known value of the speed of light, the sensor can calculate the distance between the object and the sensor. It can provide non-contact measurement, and has the characteristics of high accuracy and fast response, and can be integrated with other sensors or systems to achieve more complex measurement and control tasks.
    Laser distance sensors are widely used in many fields, including automation, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, intelligent warehousing and logistics, and scientific research. They can be used to measure parameters such as the position, distance, displacement, thickness, shape, surface roughness, etc. of an object.

  • Safety Interlock Switches

    Used in a variety of applications where access needs to be restricted or accidental activation prevented, safety lock switches are a mechanism that increases safety by preventing accidental or unauthorized use of a particular machine, device, or system.
    Depending on the specific application and requirements, safety lock switches can take different forms. With a physical lock or a combination of buttons or switches that need to be engaged to enable or disable the device.
    The purpose of a safety lock switch is to reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, or damage that could result from accidental or unauthorized operation. By implementing a safety lock switch, it ensures that only authorized personnel with the appropriate knowledge or credentials can activate or deactivate the device.
    For example, in machinery or industrial environments, safety lock switches are often used to prevent accidental startup during maintenance.
