AGV Automation Kit
Description
This AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle) system combines a line-following robot with a two-level elevator mechanism, providing an excellent platform for learning electronics, programming, and mechanical design. The robot follows a predefined path using IR sensors while the ESP32 microcontroller controls its movement. The elevator system, equipped with gears and servo motors, allows precise object transfer between levels. This project demonstrates key concepts such as control systems, CAD modeling, and automation, making it ideal for educational use. It offers students hands-on experience in robotics while promoting teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Objective
