Abstract

AGV can execute material handling flexibly, accurately, and efficiently, and have been widely applied in flexible manufacturing workshops. A multi-load AGV can transport multiple workpieces at the same time and owns strong handling flexibility. When performing multiple transport tasks, the solution to the path planning problem is more difficult due to the increasing complexity and constraints. Aiming at the energy-efficient path planning problem for a multi-load AGV in a flexible manufacturing workshop, this paper established an AGV energy-efficient path planning model with energy consumption and transport distance as the optimization objectives. Furthermore, this paper proposed a model solution method integrating the modified Dijkstra algorithm and the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-Ⅱ(NSGA-Ⅱ). Finally, the case study verifies the energy-saving effect of the model and the validity of the solution method.
