AGV is called "automatic guided transport vehicle". At present, AGV scheduling usually requires a central control system to control the operation of multiple AGVs. The central control system is responsible for allocating tasks and planning routes for the automated guided vehicles connected to the computer, running on a special computer. However, the existing AGV scheduling system has the following shortcomings: 1. Poor reliability. When a software or hardware failure occurs in the central control system, the entire system will be paralyzed. 2. The number of automatic guided vehicles is limited. The number of automated guided vehicles is limited by the performance of the computer running the central control system. The more AGVs, the greater the amount of calculation in the central dispatching system. 3. High cost. Due to the need for a special central control system, the cost has increased.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, technicians provide a highly reliable automatic guided vehicle cluster control system and method that is not affected by the number of automatic guided vehicles and is low in cost. An AGV cluster control system, which is characterized in that it includes: a client terminal for issuing task instructions and task requirements; The communication unit that communicates with the client and other AGV cars and the analysis control unit connected to the navigation device; the analysis control unit calculates the current coordinates of the AGV car according to the surrounding environment of the AGV car detected by the navigation device, according to the path and other AGV cars received The information controls the operation of the AGV vehicle, plans the path of the AGV vehicle according to the task requirements and calculates the cost of executing the task. Each AGV vehicle sends its own information to other AGV vehicles through the communication unit. The analysis control unit of each AGV vehicle is based on the received The information adjustment path of other AGV trolleys, the information includes the current coordinates, movement status and IP address of the AGV trolley. After the client sends the task request, each AGV car calculates the cost according to the task request sent by the client, and sends the calculated cost to the client, and the client sends the task instruction to the lower cost AGV car. In the automated guided vehicle cluster control system provided by the present invention, it is also characterized in that the navigation device includes a laser sensor and a camera. The automatic guided vehicle cluster control system is also characterized in that the client is a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The automatic guided vehicle cluster control system provided by the present invention is also characterized in that the client and the automatic guided vehicle trolley are connected to the network through a wireless router. In the automatic guided vehicle cluster control system, it is also characterized in that the motion state includes a static state and an operation state, and the operation state includes a motion direction and an operation path.

The advantage of the above-mentioned AGV cluster control system is: because the analysis and control unit in each AGV trolley can calculate its own coordinates according to the environmental signals collected by the navigation device, it can plan the path according to the task requirements and control it to run along the path. The need for a central control unit not only reduces the cost of the system, but also because of the performance of the central control unit, the number of AGV cars is not limited. Each AGV car can send its own information to other cars, and can also receive information sent by other AGV cars. Therefore, the analysis control unit can adjust its own path according to its own information and the information of other AGV cars, or send control commands to other cars, so that other AGV cars can avoid collision or congestion. In addition, each AGV trolley calculates the cost of performing its own tasks according to the task requirements sent by the client, and the client sends commands to perform tasks to the lower-cost AGV trolleys according to the cost fed back by each AGV trolley. Therefore, when the entire system performs tasks, the AGV trolley can be arranged reasonably, which greatly reduces the cost of the system to perform tasks.
