NEURAL NETWORK CONTROL FOR AN AUTONOMOUS GUIDED VEHICLE
In this thesis, an Autonomous Automated Guided Vehicle (AAGV) controller is developed using a hierarchical structure of neural networks. A highly forward connected, back-propagated, recurrent neural network is developed and implemented in this controller. The use of recurrent networks is shown to provide smooth, non-cyclic guidance of the AGV. The target system addressed in this work is an experimental AGV equipped with a sonar ranging system, and differential-drive propulsion.
