…Condition Posed Problems for Robotic Navigation At the same time, Chaplin and Sloan both noted issues with the concrete flooring’s surface. It was not entirely level in certain places, and there was wear and damage in others. Chaplin: “A sloping, worn, and damaged concrete floor will prevent the AMRs from traveling smoothly and predictably along their workflow paths. Yet to…

…ensures their efficient and safe navigation. Effective AGV navigation relies on good communication between the AGVs and the factory’s control system. This communication enables the factory to track each AGVs' location, load, and real-time status. Mercedes-Benz’s previous AGV system used Bluetooth technology along with HMS’ Anybus Wireless Bolt and Bridge products. However, they wanted to improve the system’s efficiency and…
