Automatic Guided Vehicles
Automatic guided vehicles, or AGVs, are computer-controlled robots that are sometimes called self-guided vehicles. These machines can lift and carry weighty loads. Although load capacity varies from machine to machine, all automatic guided vehicles can lift loads too heavy for a single person to manage. AGVs facilitate the transport of heavy loads.
Automatic guided vehicles are used in industrial environments for a variety of jobs, especially those concerned with the transportation of goods. They are mobile and can easily lift, carry, and move products in warehouses, factories, and retail storage areas. Automatic guided vehicles often work with products packaged into pallet form. In some cases, operators drive the vehicles; however, most AGVs are capable of operating independently.
Automatic guided vehicles have defined paths they follow. Navigation can be provided by several different guiding systems, including by laser, camera, optics, inertia, or wire. A forklift is a great example of a widely used AGV.
