Transportation

The line between AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) and AGVs (automated guided vehicle) has become blurred in the past few years. Many robotic solutions used for transportation would consider themselves AGVs because they do not perform obstacle avoidance like AMRs, even though they utilize very similar components. This group of transportation robots act how a conventional AGV would: they will stick to a fixed route that must remain clear, but without the addition of costly wire guides or magnetic tape. The main benefits of this are: fewer unknown scenarios that can cause the robot to fault out and more predictability in the actions of the robot. These robots typically can’t quickly change top modules like AMRs, but their tasks usually relate to unceasing requests such as, pallet movement.
