Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of an autonomous vehicle system for warehouse logistics, utilising a dual-vehicle coordination mechanism to enhance efficiency and adaptability in dynamic environments. The system integrates advanced hardware components, including the STM32 microcontroller, TB6612FNG motor driver, and YB-MVX01 infrared line tracking module, to achieve precise navigation and task execution. Wireless communication is facilitated through JDY-31 Bluetooth and GL24S 2.4G modules, enabling external control and inter-vehicle coordination respectively. A PID control algorithm ensures accurate line tracking, while an LCD display provides real-time system status. Experimental results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in autonomous navigation, task coordination, and adaptability to dynamic warehouse environments. The design prioritises modularity, scalability, and cost-efficiency, making it a viable solution for modern logistics automation.

Keywords: microcontroller; autonomous vehicle system; dynamic warehouse environments; GL24S 2.4G modules.
