Abstract

AGV in the factory has an important role to advance the flexible manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a novel object-transportation control algorithm of cooperative AGV systems to apply decentralized control to multiple AGV systems. The application of proposed virtual passivity-based decentralized control method via system augmentation is applied to trace a circle. Also, the simulation and experimental results for the object transportation by two AGV systems illustrate the validity of the proposed virtual-passivity decentralized control method.
