ABSTRACT

In manufacturing environments equipped with automated systems, the adoption of collaborative robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is increasing to enhance production efficiency and reduce costs. In particular, mobile work systems, where a collaborative robot is mounted on an AGV, are gaining attention. However, position errors occurring during the driving and stopping phases of the AGV reduce the work accuracy of the collaborative robot. To compensate for these position errors, vision cameras and other types of sensors are commonly used. However, these systems are often sensitive to environmental factors such as lighting conditions and require significant initial installation costs, making them difficult to adopt in small- and medium-sized manufacturing facilities. To address this issue, this study proposes a system that compensates for positional deviations using low-cost ultrasonic sensors installed on the AGV. By analyzing the distance and angle errors derived from the sensor measurements, the system communicates with the robot controller to apply correction values, thereby reducing positional deviations during operation. The proposed model simplifies the error compensation process, reduces initial investment costs, and is expected to improve the practicality and applicability of mobile collaborative robot systems utilizing AGVs.
