Abstract

This paper describes the developement of a mobile robot for a ham industry. The developed system permits to integrate the previous transport system, based on fork lift trucks, with the advantage that in case of contingency an operator can drive the mobile robot as a fork lift truck. The position of the mobile robot in the plant is determined by odometry and updated by a system of absolute localization based on telemetry laser. The system, composed of mobile robots and fork lift trucks, is controlled by a planning program running in a Sparc Station. The planner manages the traffic of the robots and storage criteria. The system meets the specified requirements of work in agressive environments, with respect to humidity and temperature. The development of the system was supported by the European Community proyect EUREKA PROJAM 398.
