Development of ROS-Based Laser Navigation Forklift AGV System

Aiming at the disadvantages of traditional logistics systems with low operating efficiency and high labor costs, the Robot Operating System (ROS) was studied. Based on the modular concept, a forklift-type AGV hardware platform was built with an industrial computer as the core controller; laser radar and other sensors were integrated based on the data, the control system was developed using the distributed software framework of ROS; a laser-guided forklift AGV system was designed, and performance tests were carried out. Experiments show that the design scheme of the laser-guided forklift AGV system is feasible, meets the requirements of use, and can realize the functions of motion control, positioning mapping and navigation obstacle avoidance.
