Why AGV Control System?
AGV Control System
3
There are lots of different robot manufacturers on the market
with a great variety of functionalities. As a customer, you
have to buy several types of mobile robots from separate
manufacturers to cover all requirements originating from
various use cases. This leads to the problem that robots can-
not cooperate with one another because they cannot
communicate with robots from other manufacturers due to
each using different platforms, systems and standards.
That is why a centralized mission control and fleet manage-
ment platform is needed to connect mobile robots so they can
communicate with one another allowing them to intelligently
cooperate to solve sophisticated tasks. This leads to profit in-
crease to the customer because of: reduced operation cost,
reduced human error, increased uptime, increased efficiency.

Robot Management
Service
Bosch has developed a robot management service that can
read and translate actions and messages in both directions!
The translation of generic system actions
that can be triggered by the system or the
user through the interface results in a
specific action for each robot type.
The translation of raw robot messages,
written in its native language, into Bosch
AGV Control System compatible generic
messages.

The system is based on different map types, which serve as
references for the robots so that they can locate themselves
indoors and outdoors. Because Bosch AGV Control System
can coordinate and manage robot types from different
manufac-turers in one tool, each type requires a specific
reference map. Sectors have to be created so that all robots
moving in the same area can communicate with one another
in spite of dis-tinct maps. Sectors define the accessible area
by grouping robots and their associated reference maps.

These maps later can be used to create a path network that
applies to the entire sector. All robots in this sector operate in
a common network.
Path elements have specific capabilities (pick up, drop off,
charge, etc). Each robot type also possesses different capa-
bilities to complete various actions. Therefore the actions
of one path element can only be completed by a specific robot
type with the corresponding capabilities.
When the user now starts a job, the intelligent fleet manage-
ment considers the path network to find the shortest path and
the closest robot with the fitting capabilities to complete the
job. This way it is guaranteed that jobs are always completed
in the fastest and most efficient way.
