To solve the problem that the existing automated guided vehicle (AGV) is limited to the same floor of the logistics transportation, difficult to realize the different floors independent logistics transportation, an AGV equipped with an intelligent manipulator is designed and produced. To meet the working requirements, completes the overall plan design, the mechanical structure design, the movement control, and the button recognition’s hardware construction and the software design, the manipulator’s kinematic analysis is carried out, make a prototype and complete the experiment of automatic recognition and pressing function of the elevator button. The experimental results show that the AGV can be used to automatically recognize and press the elevator button according to the need to take the elevator up and down the stairs, and has a broad application prospect.
