Implementation of Autonomous Mobile Robot in SmartFactory

Abstract

This study deals with the technology of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and their implementation on the SmartFactory production line at the Technical University of Ostrava. The task of the mobile robot is to cooperate with the production line, take over the manufactured products, and then deliver them. The content also includes a description of the individual steps that were necessary to make the mobile robot operational, such as loading a virtual map of the space, creating a network for communication with the mobile robot, and programming it. The main part of the experiment deals with testing the accuracy of moving the mobile robot to each position and establishing communication between the production line and the mobile robot. A high accuracy is a necessity in this process. The result of the study is the configuration of the autonomous mobile robot. The repetitive precision of the approach of the autonomous mobile robot to a position is ±3 mm.
