The material handling procedures in an industrial flexible environment may be achieved by an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). The report describes the research and development activities that were undertaken by a University/Industry joint effort in the area of materials handling systems. The project main goal was the development, test and implementation, at an industrial plant, of a flexible manufacturing scheme, wrapping a transport system based on AGVs. The vehicle prototype steering control, its identification and the analysis of the vehicle performance is addressed. A project rule relating the AGV velocity with the minimum curvature radius is derived.
