Automated guided vehicle

Common card · No. 381836

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a portable bot that, unlike an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), follows along marked long lines or wires on the floor, or uses radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation. They are most often used in industrial applications to transport heavy materials around a large industrial building, such as a factory or warehouse. The application of AGVs broadened during the late 20th century.
