Automated Guided Vehicle

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are floor-bound, self-propelled vehicles that are used to transport materials within a logistical or industrial environment. With the appropriate infrastructure, several AGVs can be networked to form an automated guided vehicle system (AGVS). Automatically controlled AGVs have a navigation system, which can be magnetic, laser or wire-controlled, for example. Autonomous AGVs, on the other hand, can determine their own route to their destination.
