Hi!
I’m working on an AGV project. I want to start a Mobile Industrial Robotics MiR1000 EU Pallet Lift AGV, but I don’t know how. Which properties should be set to True in a Python script, and what elements are needed for further control (path, nodes, transport controller, etc.)? Also, how can I specify the coordinates for its destination?
Thank you very much in advance for the answers.
Hello,You can refer to this help document ：vcSim车辆
vcSimVehicle should not be used anymore. In VC 5.0 it can no longer be created from UI and is removed from Python API.

If you use the MiR1000 EU Pallet Lift from eCatalog library, see this tutorial to get started with the standard way of simulating mobile robot movements: Introduction to Using Resources | Visual Components Academy
If you are aiming for a more advanced use case involving fully customized movements, I would recommend stripping the MiR1000 component from all component behaviours and modeling it from scratch. Here’s a minimal example for Python-scripting custom AGV movements with accelerations, decelerations and a sensor to stop the AGV.

Another approach for modeling custom AGV movements is modeling the AGV as a cartesian robot, so its X,Y,heading positions can be programmed in Program tab. The idea is that the AGV:s geometry is placed inside the link rotating around Z axis, and any lifting axes are placed inside the Z-translational link. Template 5-Axis Cartesian from Component Templates is good for this. See this example:
