Effective Prediction of Energy Consumption in Automated Guided Vehicles with Recurrent and Convolutional Neural Networks.

Detection and prediction of failures in Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) are essential for the uninterrupted operation of production plants. Anomaly detection is usually achieved by comparing expected measurement values with actual observations. Thus, it is crucial to predict telemetry signals properly. In this paper, we research the prediction of energy consumption using state-of-the-art Artificial Neural Networks architectures (SCINet) compared with other Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) approaches on the data streams acquired from CoBotAGV. We especially focus on the possibility of applying feature weighting. We show that it can improve prediction capabilities. We also investigate resource utilization in terms of time to fit the embedded AGV environment.
