description Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are vital for optimizing the transport of material in modern industry. AGVs have been widely used in production, logistics, transportation, and commerce, enhancing productivity, lowering labor costs, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring safety. However, path planning for AGVs in complex and dynamic environments remains challenging due to the computation of obstacle avoidance and efficient transport. This study proposes a novel approach that combines multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and the dynamic-window approach (DWA) to enhance AGV path planning. Optimal AGV trajectories considering energy consumption, travel time, and collision avoidance were used to model the multi-objective functions for dealing with the outcome-feasible optimal solution. Empirical findings and results demonstrate the approach’s effectiveness and efficiency, highlighting its potential for improving AGV navigation in real-world scenarios.
