Automated Guided Vehicle Navigated using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Intelligent Space
N. Balaji · International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology · 2017
The emerging concept intelligent space (IS) offers the use of mobile autonomous devices like vehicles or robots in a very broad area without necessity for these devices to own all necessary sensors.From this reason also new navigation methods are developing, which aim to offer maybe not accurate but first of all cheap and reliable solutions for a wide variety of devices.This concept deals with the examination of possibility to interconnect RFID tags with sensors.The signals produced by these two technologies are often affected by uncertainty and incompleteness we use fuzzy logic for their processing as well as control of the entire navigation process.For this purpose a special type of a fuzzy cognitive map was proposed.The concept describes real navigation experiments with a simple vehicle and evaluates them by selected criteria.From our results and their explanations and conclusions for potential future research are sketched.
