Motor Modelling and Magnetic adhesion Simulation For Hybrid Wall Climbing AGV

Abstract

The AGV's are beginning to change the way of the industries, there are still rooms for development of those AGV's. The hybrid AGV's which can climb walls and move on land for various purposes. The magnetic adhesion plays a major role in deciding the payload of the robot. The distance between the magnet and the iron rail surface embedded in the wall. The analysis was done on the magnet and the metal surface with FEMM software to find the best position to place the magnet in the robot. The distance between the magnet and the iron rail was also analyzed to reduce the friction and avoid magnets sticking to the rail. As it was found that the magnets positioning does play an important role in the overall payload and to give the required data to design the AVG to increase its performance. The design of the AGV is an important factor to consider the payload and the balance of the robot while climbing the wall to make sure that it doesn't fail. The motor modelling has been done with the help of MATLAB and the results are been recorded and is used for further studies and to incorporate the same in the mechanical design and make the AGV work properly. In summarizing the work, the magnets along with a design can improve the overall ability to perform the operations is essential, also the Motor modelling and the analysis done in MATLAB with Simulink will provide the results and data to make the AGV move with more precision.
