Abstract
Nowadays there is a good demand on the part of manufacturers for their shipping warehouses in an effective manner without any havoc with respect to reduction of pollution. Human error has been a negative effect on various factors such as safety, efficiency, and quality. These difficulties can be eliminated or reduced with the introduction of a Micro-controller Based Guided Vehicle (MBGV) – a driver-less, intelligent forklift which uses an optical path to traverse a warehouse in a quick and safe manner. This vehicle employs a micro-controller and a rechargeable battery for doing the shipping operation in an automated manner without any need for fuel. Since there is going to be a fuel depletion in the world in the coming days, this automated vehicle can be an alternative solution for the above purpose. This paper deals with the existing different types of automated vehicles available, their selection, principle of operation of the proposed model, merits and demerits of this Automated Guided Vehicle and its plan of future work.
