Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automatic guided vehicle and a method for drive control enable driving of the vehicle with a coordinate system, while using designation of a movement position by address. The automatic guided vehicle measures a surrounding state by a laser, performs matching between map data and measurement data obtained by the measuring to obtain the current position, and runs, following preset route data, based on the obtained current position. The vehicle includes a data memory that stores correspondence information between addresses of certain positions in a drive area where the vehicle runs and coordinates that are set in the drive area, and a processing section that, when a movement target position is designated by address from a host computer, transforms the designated address into coordinates, based on the correspondence information between addresses and coordinates, and drives the vehicle, following the route data to the coordinates corresponding to the address.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An automatic guided vehicle configured to drive automatically in a drive area, the automatic guided vehicle comprising: a sensor configured to measure a distance to an object; a storage section configured to store correspondence information between addresses of certain positions in the drive area and coordinates in map data of the drive area; and a control section configured, when a target address that is used to designate a target position is designated…
