Automated guided vehicles are working in nearly every industry which includes pulp, paper, metals, newspaper, and general manufacturing. This paper is about the design and development of electric automatic guided vehicle which is an initiative towards the automation. In Rajarambapu Institute of Technology there are different facilities. As a result of large campus, facilities are situated far from each other. If anyone who is visiting the institute campus will require a lot time to roam around all the facilities by walking. Considering this problem, we are developing an electric automated guided vehicle which will trace a pre-defined path and carry the passenger from one place to another as per their own choice within the campus. This paper describes different modules such as drive control, steering control, obstacle detection, power supply control, human machine interface, camera and single board computer which will be implemented in AGV. Implementation details of different functionality like video capture, color detection, masking, edge detection and shape detection are described in paper.
