Okwekenenya enkola z’eby’ekikugu n’okukozesebwa kw’emmotoka eziragirwa mu ngeri ey’otoma .
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) kye kyuma ekikola mu ngeri ey’otoma ekisobola okumaliriza emirimu gy’okukwata ebintu nga tekirina mukozi wa muntu, nga kikozesa pre{0}}okuteekawo amakubo oba okutambulira mu ngeri eyeetongodde. Tekinologiya waayo omukulu okuzingiramu okutambulira ku nnyanja n’okuteeka ekifo, okuteekateeka amakubo, okutegeera obutonde bw’ensi, n’okufuga entambula, era akozesebwa nnyo mu kukola, okutereka, okutambuza ebintu, n’ebyobulamu.
Mu ngeri y’okutambuliramu n’okuteeka mu kifo, AGVs okusinga zeesigamye ku bulagirizi bw’amasannyalaze aga magineeti, okutambulira mu layisi, okutambulira mu kulaba, n’okutambulira mu mazzi. Obulagirizi bw’amasannyalaze bukozesa waya eziikiddwa okukola ekifo kya magineeti, nga AGV’s ezimbiddwa-mu sensa zifuna okulondoola ekkubo. Laser navigation ekozesa LIDAR okusika ebipande ebitunula mu mbeera eyeetoolodde n’okuteeka enjuyi essatu ekifo kyayo. Visual navigation ekozesa camera-ebikoleddwa data y'ebifaananyi era n'egatta ne tekinologiya wa SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) okutuuka ku autonomous navigation mu mbeera ezikyukakyuka. Inertial navigation ekozesa gyroscopes ne accelerometers okubala okusengulwa, naye nga kyetaagisa okwegatta ne tekinologiya omulala okusobola okulongoosa obutuufu.
Enteekateeka y’ekkubo kikulu nnyo mu nkola ennungi eya AGV era egabanyizibwamu enteekateeka y’amakubo g’ensi yonna n’okwewala ebiziyiza eby’omu kitundu. Enteekateeka y’ensi yonna etera okusalawo ekkubo erisinga obulungi okusinziira ku data ya maapu, ate enteekateeka y’ekitundu yeesigamye ku data ya sensa ey’ekiseera entuufu-okutereeza mu ngeri ey’amaanyi amakubo okwewala ebiziyiza. Enkola eza bulijjo mulimu A* algorithm, enkola ya Dijkstra, n’enkola y’ennimiro ey’obusobozi obw’ekikugu.
Tekinologiya w’okutegeera obutonde bw’ensi asobozesa AGVs okuzuula ebintu ebiriraanyewo, gamba ng’abatembeeyi, obusawo, oba ebyuma ebirala ebitambula, nga biyita mu LIDAR, sensa eziyitibwa ultrasonic, oba kkamera, okukakasa nti zikola bulungi. Okufuga entambula kuzingiramu okulungamya sipiidi ya AGV, okufuga siteeringi, n’okuteekawo enteekateeka ezikwatagana n’emmotoka multi-, mu ngeri entuufu nga tukozesa enkola ya PID control oba Advanced Model Predictive Control (MPC) okusobola okulongoosa obulungi.
Mu biseera eby’omu maaso, olw’okugatta amagezi ag’ekikugu ne tekinologiya wa 5G, mmotoka ezilungamya mu ngeri ey’otoma zijja kukulaakulana okutuuka ku bwetwaze obusingawo n’okusobola okukyusakyusa, okwongera okutumbula omutindo gw’amagezi mu by’okutambuza ebintu n’okukola ebintu.
