AGVs: Automated Guided Vehicles have limited applications due to their dependency on fixed routes. Typically, an AGV is programmed to perform the same delivery task throughout its service life. Altering its function or route is not cost-effective, as it requires significant changes to the physical infrastructure.
AMRs: On the other hand, Autonomous Mobile Robots offer high flexibility. They can perform a variety of tasks at different locations with simple software adjustments. The missions of AMR robots can be controlled via their interface or configured through fleet control software. This software prioritizes orders and assigns tasks to mobile autonomous robots based on their position and availability.
A substantial difference between them (AGV and AMR) is the machine payload, in which the AGV is able to move a heavier than AMR… and this feature defines the application sector/filed of them!
