CE 2.1 Project Information
Name of the project: DESIGN OF SMART AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE
Location of the project: Gombak, Malaysia
Project Duration: 4 months
Organization: International Islamic University Malaysia
Role and Designation during the time: Team Leader
CE 2.2 Project Background
CE 2.2.1 Characteristics of the project
Autonomous mobile robot is generally used for the purpose of transporting of the
materials in the workstations is gaining popularity. Any type of mobile robots are always termed
as Automated Guided vehicle or the AGV and is associated with functioning as a carrier of
materials for the purpose of delivering products from one place to the other.
Because of the fact that the autonomous mobile robots are capable of completing their
assigned tasks in an independent manner without any need of extra interventions from human
beings, has made it become a growing field of research. This is generally done for the purpose of
having a reduced number of workers as well as reduced cost. However the area of focus is still
associated with including the navigation of the autonomous vehicles. Despite of the fact that the
machine based robot navigation technology has become the mainstream still the traditional line
of following robot is still used in a wide range of applications and this is mainly due to the low
costs and the simplicity of the circuit designs.

CE 2.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
I have been associated with the maintenance of some of the major significant as well as
standards at the time of execution of the particular project which in turn is associated with acting
as the reason for this type of designing or working parameters were being followed efficiently.
Thus in order to complete the project along with providing a perfect design for the Autonomous
guided vehicles so as to help it in becoming effective as well as efficient, I have eventually been
associated with developing certain objectives and this includes the following:
 To develop and design mechanically the smart AGV.
 To develop the simple system that can operate the smart AGV.
 To integrate sensory system and control algorithm for the AGV
 To evaluate the performance and control of the AGV
CE 2.2.3 My area of work
Since this is my second professional project which I have conducted and because of the
reason I was much experienced by working on my previous project, I have been recruited as the
team leaderin this specific project. In addition to this I would also like to mention that while
conducting this project, I did not face many complexities for completing the tasks. Once I was
provided with the complete design of the Autonomous Guided Vehicles, I have been associate
dwith helping my fellow team members to understand the main requirements of the project along
with the processes and the working principles of the AGV which would be consisting of user
friendly specifications along with making sure that the size of the AGV is scaled down so to get
fitted with the 2x2 meter layout. Due to the leadership qualities and skills related to logical
reasoning the members of my team kept a confidence upon me for leading them towards
completing the project successfully.
