AGV Obstacle Avoidance Application

Application Overview

AGV obstacle sensors are including ultrasonic, infrared, LiDAR and visual, etc. Each one of them are

difference: Infrared is cheap and cannot detect black object. Ultrasonic can detect glass and the acoustic

wave has poor controllability may cause false alarm. LiDAR has better controllability but may penetrate

glass. Visual cost higher than any other sensors and cannot detect blind areas.

Benewake are specialized in single-point and 3D directional obstacle avoidance for AGV. LiDAR is a

non-contact, based on Time of Flight principle measurement equipment. It will out put the distance of

the nearest objects.

AGV Obstacle Avoidance Application

Single-point LiDAR obstacle avoidance

Single point LiDAR is installed in fixed position around

AGV to detect obstacles in a range of 0.1m-12m. It

outputs the distance of the nearest obstacle to guide

the system to brake or decelerate. It is the best reliable

and low-cost safety scheme for mobile robot / AGV.

3D solid-state LiDAR is installed in forward direction of

AGV at a range of 0.1m-4m. It outputs the distance or

point cloud of the nearest obstacles in FoV 132 ° * 9 °.

It is the preferred cost-effective scheme for low-level

and fixed path navigation AGV obstacle avoidance.

Case Study Logistic AGV Storage forklift Stereoscopic warehouse Two TFmini Plus are installed at front and back of AGV. They detect obstacles and assist the deceleration or emergency stop of AGV. CE30 is installed in front of the AGV and monitor the obstacles ahead, Then AGV will slow down or brake after got the distance feedback from LiDAR. TFmini plus is installed in front of forklift legs, and the distance of obstacles ahead is fed back to forklift.
