AGV handling robot traditional navigation method: electromagnetic navigation

There are many ways to navigate AGV handling robots, such as laser navigation, inertial navigation, etc. But what is the difference between them? A relatively traditional way of navigation: electromagnetic navigation.

Wire Guidance is a relatively traditional AGV navigation method that works by embedding a metal wire in the path of the AGV and loading a low frequency, low frequency current to generate a magnetic field around the wire, and the AGV is sensing on the path of travel. The coil passes, and the identification and tracking of the navigation magnetic field strength realizes the guidance of the AGV.

Advantages of electromagnetic navigation: the wire is concealed, not easy to be polluted and damaged, the guiding principle is simple and reliable, the communication control is convenient, the sound and light are not interfered, and the investment cost is low.

Disadvantages of electromagnetic navigation: Changing or expanding the path is more cumbersome and the guide line is relatively difficult to lay.

The above is a bit of a shortcoming of the electromagnetic navigation method of the AGV handling robot, and hopes to help more companies to better select their own AGV handling robot.
