Abstract

The invention provides an AGV cluster control system and method, and the system comprises a client and a plurality of AGVs. Each AGV is provided with a navigation device for detecting the surroundings, an analysis control unit, and a communication unit which is used for the communication with the client and other AGVs, wherein the analysis control unit is used for calculating and obtaining the current coordinates of the corresponding AGV according to the detected surroundings of the AGV, carrying out the planning of a path of the AGV according to task demands and calculating the cost in task execution, and controlling the operation of the AGV according to the path and the received information of other AGVs. The client selects to transmit a task instruction to the AGV with the minimum costin task execution. The system provided by the invention reduces the cost, and the number of AGVs is not limited. Moreover, the problems of the AGVs do not affect the operation of the system, and the AGVs are not liable to collide with each other and cause the congestion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of AGV scheduling control, and in particular relates to an AGV cluster control system and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] AGV is the abbreviation of (Automated Guided Vehicle), which means "automatically guided transport vehicle". The existing AGV scheduling usually requires a central control system to control the operation of multiple AGVs. The central control system will run on a dedicated computer. Responsible for assigning tasks and planning paths to the AGV cars connected to the computer. However, the existing AGV scheduling system has the following disadvantages: [0003] 1. Weak reliability. When there is a software or hardware failure in the central control system, the entire system will be paralyzed. [0004] 2. The number of AGVs is limited. The number of AGVs is limited by the performance of the computer running the central control system. The more AGVs there are, the greater t...
