Towards a Bijective Co-simulation Model Between Physical and Virtual Environments, Adapted to a Platform for Autonomous Industrial Vehicles

Abstract

: One of the major challenges faced by Industry 4.0 is the use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and, more broadly, autonomous mobile robots. While autonomy in road transportation vehicles can already be well characterized, it is a different story for autonomous vehicles used in industries, such as Autonomous Industrial Vehicles (AIVs). The implementation and deployment of AIV fleets in industrial sectors encounter various issues, including vehicle localization, employee acceptance, traffic flow
