Abstract:
An automatic guided vehicle system includes an automatic guided vehicle, which
has a battery mounted thereon and moves by a driving motor driven by the battery,
and a recharging device for recharging the battery. The automatic guided vehicle
is provided with a fixed position detecting sensor, which detects a stopping
position for recharging by the recharging device, and an optical communication
device for requesting recharging to the recharging device. The recharging
device recharges the battery of the automatic guided vehicle upon the recharging
request from the automatic guided vehicle. With such automatic guided vehicle
system, the battery can be recharged without requiring battery replacing operation.
