A Research on Locating AGV via RSS Signals

Abstract:

We are now living in an era of advanced technology, where every part of daily life is related to each other via many kinds of wireless connection. The fourth industrial revolution is now heading toward many kinds of network connecting in real-time which can boost productivity and performance among many manufacturers. In particular, a production manager wanted to know how many automated guided vehicles (AGV) were deployed in a warehouse at that moment; modern farmers wanted to know how many harvesting robots were operating, etc. Therefore, navigating is one of the main elements to handle these tasks. Although we have already applied Global Positioning System (GPS) to the outdoors so far, they still had some limitations, especially on deploying between indoor like houses, buildings which GPS signals are unable to reach. In this paper, we proposed a technique in order to recognize AGV and the distance between them via Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) technique. In addition, we developed a way to store these data on a server for last long usage.
