Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are now a core part of modern manufacturing workshops, enabling fast, reliable, and flexible material movement while reducing dependence on manual handling. Despite their importance, most existing path planning approaches still focus mainly on minimizing distance or travel time. These strategies overlook a crucial factor, energy consumption, which directly affects operational cost, battery health, sustainability goals, and overall system efficiency. Addressing this limitation, this thesis presents an Energy Aware Path Planning (EAPP) framework specifically designed for single-load, non-holonomic AGVs used in structured workshop environments. The proposed framework models the workshop layout as an undirected graph, where nodes represent workstation points or intersections and edges represent feasible routes that comply with AGV kinematic and turning constraints. Unlike traditional planners, our approach integrates a physics-based energy model into the A* algorithm, allowing each edge to be evaluated not only by its geometric length but also by its expected energy usage, considering acceleration, deceleration, rolling resistance, turning angles, and standby power. This enables the AGV to prioritize paths with fewer turns, even when they are slightly longer, ultimately reducing total energy consumption. The method is implemented and validated using MATLAB simulations, where both distance-based A* and the proposed energy-aware A* are compared under realistic AGV parameters. The results show that the EAPP framework significantly lowers energy consumption and maintains competitive travel times, while still producing feasible and safe navigation paths within constrained workshop networks. By directly embedding energy considerations into the path planning process, this work contributes to more sustainable intralogistics and provides a practical, scalable solution suitable for real-time AGV navigation and industrial deployment.
Objectified Body Consciousness, Self Esteem and Psychological Well Being in women
(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Rimsha Rehman; SP20-BPY-012; Ms. Bareera Saeed; LHR TP 8873
The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate the relationship objectified body consciousness, self-esteem and psychological well-being in women. A convenient sampling methods used to collect data for this quantitative study from 400 participants age ranging between 18 to 30 years (M=20.02, SD= 1.79). Demographic Questionnaire, objectified body consciousness, Revised Attitudes towards self-esteem was used. The correlation analysis demonstrated that objectified body consciousness and self-esteem positively and significantly correlated with psychological well-being. It was hypothesized that objectified body consciousness initiative is likely to correlation self-esteem and psychological well-being in women. The results did not prove an association between objectified body consciousness, self- esteem, and psychological well-being. The finding of the study revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between objectified body consciousness (OBC), self-esteem, and psychological well-being in women. All paths are showed to be significant. These findings have important implications for clinical practice, education, research, policy-making and public health policy. This study will contribute on prevention measures as emerging adults have to go later in their marital, social, and professional life.
