Abstract
The paper presents an orchestrated controlled model for automated guided vehicle (AGV) like mobile robots (RBs) to perform a transportation task in environment such as a warehouse or a factory. The AGV uses graph-based approach for path planning. It uses a proposed navigation algorithm for following the path trajectory. It also avoids a collision during transportation between start and end points. The proposed model also prevents the AGV from a deadlock situation. The performance of model has been validated experimentally.
