ABSTRACT

The era of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is progressing expeditiously every day. New approaches are being designed for material movement systems. These work on the software framework, which is controlled by Robot Operating System (ROS). Human interactions with AGV are to provide it with instructions or a target location for its movement. We mainly emphasize the human-robot coexistence for the fulfillment of tasks in automation. In this chapter, we comprehensively discuss the state-of-the-art of ROS and Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) in the field of AGVs and throw light on the future aspects of it.
