Abstract
This paper presents a new navigation and control method for an AGV, which has good performance of real-time, robustness and adapting to complicated environment. This method integrates many functions for an AGV and adopts a new navigation scheme by searching points from an arc. The AGV with this system not only can quickly deal with environment information but also can efficiently avoid dynamic or static obstacles, and reaches the target safely and reliably. Many simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and correctness of this scheme.
