Abstract
A method for optimizing placement of on-the-go wireless charging units is provided. The on-the-go wireless charging units is configured for charging automated guided vehicles. The method includes the following steps. First, paths of the automated guided vehicles are acquired. Then, a charging demand distribution for each link between the waypoints based on the paths is computed. Finally, placement of the on-the-go wireless charging units on the links is optimized according to the charging demand distribution.
