This paper addresses the mechanical and electrical design of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) test prototype based on a systems engineering approach. First, the different phases of the systems engineering approach are described. The conceptual design begins with the house of quality, which weighs the relevance of each user requirement and ends wi...

... The methods help transform the voice of the customer into engineering characteristics and establish their relative importance. Such integration of requirementscharacteristics association and prioritization techniques had been used in multiple studies [24][25][26]. For example, the "fast detection" requirement will influence both detection time and weight characteristics. ...
For the issues of the ant colony algorithm (ACO) to solving the problems in mobile robot path planning, such as the slow optimization speed and the redundant paths in planning results, a high-precision improved ant colony algorithm (IPACO) with fast optimization and compound prediction mechanism is proposed. Firstly, aiming at maximizing the possibility of optimal node selection in the process of path planning, a composite optimal node prediction model is introduced to improve the state transition function. Secondly, a pheromone model with initialize the distribution and “reward or punishment”? update mechanism is used to updates the global pheromone concentration directionally, which increases the pheromone concentration of excellent path nodes and the heuristic effect; Finally, a prediction-backward mechanism to deal with the “deadlock” problem in the ant colony search process is adopted in the IPACO algorithm, which enhance the success rate in the ACO algorithm path planning. Five groups of different environments are selected to compare and verify the performance of IPACO algorithm, ACO algorithm and three typical path planning algorithms. The experimental simulation results show that, compared with the ACO algorithm, the convergence speed and the planning path accuracy of the IPACO algorithm are improved by 57.69% and 12.86% respectively, and the convergence speed and the planning path accuracy are significantly improved; the optimal path length, optimization speed and stability of the IPACO algorithm are improved. Which verifies that the IPACO algorithm can effectively improve the environmental compatibility and stability of the ant colony algorithm path planning, and the effect is significantly improved.
