Abstract

This paper presents a new terminology, “the AGVS mechanism” , and a three-stage design concept for achieving a robust AGVS mechanism. The definition of the AGVS mechanism will be given first. The three-stage design concept, which includes the composite-floor-path system, the cell control system and the collision-free zone control system, will also be described in this paper.
