1 Concept Pper Indoor utonomous Vehicle Nvigtion Fesibility Study Bsed on Infrred Technology Ry-Shine Run Zhi-Yu Xio * ID Deprtment Electronics Engineering, Ntionl United University, Mioli, Tiwn; rsrun@nuu.edu.tw * Correspondence: xio830525x@gmil.com Received: 6 September 2017; ccepted: 8 Jnury 2018; Published: 10 Jnury 2018 bstrct: ppliction utonomous s hs grown drmticlly in recent yers. Not only hs ril-guided (RGV) been used widely in trditionl production lines, utomtic guided (GV) hs lso been incresingly used. Positioning pth plnning re two mjor functions utonomous s; however, re re mny wys to fulfill bove requirements. infrred remote control hs been hevily successfully used in home pplinces for decdes, which hs encourged us to pply this mture cost-effective technology to n utonomous. By decoding coded signl from infrred light-emitting diode (LED), which is equipped on ceiling, utonomous cn be positioned with n ccurcy less thn 50 mm. On or h, by chnging bem pttern infrred light from ceiling, n invisible route cn be produced on ground. Tht is to sy, insted trditionl ril-guided method, se invisible pths cn guide utonomous. We hve implemented prototype n utonomous system bsed on bove concept, with im creting simple relible pproch for nvigtion n indoor utonomous. Keywords: utonomous ; positioning; pth plnning; infrred; invisible route 1. Introduction Positioning is key technology tht enbles development indoor utonomous s. re re vrious kinds useful pproches, such s rdio frequency identifiction (RFID) [1 3], ZigBee, WiFi [4 7], hve been proved in mny reserch studies over pst yers. Recently, robotics compny (Mrvelmind Robotics: Sunnyvle, C, US) hs even lunched n Indoor GPS with ±2 cm precision bsed on sttionry ultrsonic becons united by rdio interfce in license-free b [8]. Indeed, most problems positioning could be solved by ny bove methods. However, this pper verifies cost-effective method utilizing infrred technology. Not only cn positioning test be ccomplished by mking use mture encoding technology infrred signl, pth plnning hs lso been demonstrted by use invisible route (described ltter). Eventully, bsed on infrred technology, simple method for nvigtion n indoor utonomous hs been presented in this rticle. 2. Methods 2.1. Mechnicl Since crrying bility is not n issue for this study, smll toy-like tricycle ws dopted s test, which is shown on left in 1. re re two wheels, which re driven by dc motors, one in front, one idler in bck. chssis is mde up trnsprent crylic bord tht cn be used s pylod spce for electronic system (shown on right in 1). ppl.
