Revolution in intralogistics: New control for autonomous transport systems!
On April 3, 2025, Brenner will present an innovative control method for driverless transport systems at the University of Stuttgart.
Revolution in intralogistics: New control for autonomous transport systems!
In the area of intralogistics, an innovative development is attracting attention. Brenner has developed a unified control method for various automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that could significantly increase both efficiency and flexibility in the logistics industry. This method includes the introduction of omni-curve parameters (OKP), which enable control independent of the vehicle geometry. This is crucial for improving the collaboration of different AGV systems.
A central concern of the research is the study of movement coordination and interoperability, which is based on a uniform interface. The driving dynamics limits of the vehicles are taken into account to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the systems. The developments were evaluated on both real and simulated vehicles, which underlines the practical suitability of the concepts.
Intuitive operation and industrial demand
Particularly noteworthy is the intuitive operability of the new control system, which can be used similarly to a joystick. This could further increase the acceptance of such systems in industry. Brenner also has confirmed demand from industry, supported by numerous inquiries about the project. This indicates a growing interest in innovative solutions in the field of autonomous transport systems.
The uniform control of the AGVs makes it possible to carry out a wider range of tasks both individually and together. This not only leads to an increase in flexibility, but also to a significant reduction in costs as fewer specialized vehicles are required.
Awards and professional development
Brenner's outstanding achievements were also officially recognized. She received the renowned Südwestmetall sponsorship award for her work in intralogistics. Brenner is currently pursuing her scientific career as a postdoc at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Your research has the potential to have a lasting impact on the logistics and transportation landscape and set new standards in the industry.
The results of these developments are promising and could be used in the near future to significantly improve the efficiency of logistics processes. Further monitoring of these developments remains exciting as they could fundamentally change the way AGVs are integrated into intralogistics.
