Abstract

The article considers the possibilities of automated use of robotic equipment in order to form an infrastructure for moving goods at enterprises. Areas of application of algorithmic programming languages of object-oriented type in robotics are investigated. The algorithm of operation of a transport vehicle, the movement, which is based on the recognition of the line of motion, describing the route of movement, is presented. The analysis of the peculiarities of the implementation of such problems with the use of OpenCv software library was carried out. The structure of the vehicle is proposed, in particular: its driving mechanisms, control scheme, engines and wheelbase. Further development was made to the algorithms for the management of crawler lorries and the ways of their program realization in various spheres of entrepreneurial activity, where there is a need for the transfer of cargoes in the ordinary areas (construction sites, forest lands, open warehouses, airports, etc.). Based on the proposals for creating a cargo robot that can be moved according to a given route, the model of control system of conveyor systems, which solve the issues of automation of technological processes in the part of the addition of conveyor systems, is presented. The analysis of literary sources describing the necessity of creating mobile conveyor systems in production, which enables to quickly re-equip production processes to unforeseen needs, was carried out.
