碩士 === 龍華科技大學 === 電子工程研究所 === 99 === The use of Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) to increase efficiency and reduce costs by helping to automate a manufacturing facility is now quite popular in industries. Unfortunately, most of these commercially available AGVs are among medium or large size, and quite expensive. The use of magnetic tapes to construct the necessary tracks for AGVs is also not easy for users to change. Therefore, a low cost, small size AGV system which is capable of carrying goods less than 100 Kilograms and uses optical sensors to follow tracks is devised in this thesis. A remote control and monitor interface on PC is also developed to make the system more friendly to users.
