How can I make an AGV Crabwalk?

I have an AGV network running and the customer is requesting to change 1 station orientation and have the AGV Crabwalk into it instead of a pull through. How do I crabwalk in and out of a station or to and from a control point?

I attach the screen captured of crabwalk AGV and a sample model.

Do want to do like it? @Raymond F

Thanks for your reply but unfortunately this your example is not what I am looking to do. I made a change to your model to better show what I am looking for. Thank you.wish-to-crab-walk-agv.fsm

I'm afraid that changing the orientation of the AGV is really difficult to do once the orientation has been set. What happens is the AGV will just revert to its original orientation and ignore whatever change was made.

That said, it might be possible to apply some custom kinematics to this. @Joshua S, any ideas?

@Raymond F

Do you mean 'Crabwalk' to move 'backward' moving not rotation?

In my country Korean, 'Crabwalk' of 'Gaegeorem' means to move side-ward not 90 degree rotation. If you solved by yourself before anyone answering, it looks like your solving model to be upload in your question for anyone's same question.

Good~

Hi @Raymond F,

Do you need any more help with this?

It sounded from the earlier replies that there aren't any options. Do you have an Idea?

One idea is to overlay an AGV object on another AGV object. The one on top will perform the visual of rotating to do the crabwalk, while the one underneath (can be small or hidden) actually follows the path and executes tasks.
