M. Ing. / This work describes the establishment of an intelligent control system on board an AGV for automatic adaptation to the motions and actions of industrial robots. The movements can represent an assembly sequence or material loading sequence. A relationship is established between the workspaces of the industrial robot and the AGV. The coordinate systems are integrated for the AGV to respond to the movements of the industrial robot in the correct way. The integration of these two different coordinate systems leads to the creation of a common workspace. Within this common workspace, the AGV interacts with the robot using the same reference points. The mathematical analysis and practical implementation of this transient workspace is described. The adaptive control presented allows for an intelligent decision making process to be performed on line with the use of an expert system.
