Abstract
This paper proposes AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) navigation methodology by using two cameras and artificial landmarks. This method doesn't need high cost sensors and doesn't have to model motion errors of AGV. It is proposed that (a) a landmark arrangement planning algorithm in a given working environment of the AGV, and (b) a landmark observation planning algorithm along a given path of the AGV. Navigation experiments with a real AGV show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
