Research into the Automatic Guidance System for AGVs Used for Logistics Based on Millimeter Wave Radar Imaging

Abstract

AGV technology has been increasingly widely used in intelligent warehousing and logistics as well as automatic chemical plants along with the accelerating industrialization and rapid advancement of the design and manufacturing industry in China. This paper elaborates on the characteristics, application scenarios, and values of AGVs used for logistics, compares and analyzes the common automatic guidance modes of the vehicle, and puts forward a design scheme of AGVs used for logistics system based on millimeter wave radar imaging technology from the perspective of enhancing the accuracy of vehicle guidance. In this scheme, millimeter wave radar, array antenna, and BP forward-looking imaging algorithm are used to present high-resolution target images. Then, according to the result of target trace condensation, the travel route is re planned to realize the automatic guidance of AGVs used for logistics. The simulation results show that the design scheme is highly accurate in target detection and imaging resolution, and thus, the scheme is effective and feasible.
