Industrial automation with AGVs and AMRs

Until recently, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) were the only option for automating internal transportation tasks. AGVs are commonly used in large, fixed installations where repetitive, consistent material deliveries are required.

However, AGVs are now being challenged by autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), which offer more advanced, flexible, and cost-effective technology. While both AGVs and AMRs transport materials, the similarities end there.

How AMRs localize themselves

MiR robots rely on sensor data to navigate their environment.

To operate effectively, the robot must accurately plan its routes and avoid unexpected obstacles.

To achieve this, the robot requires two key components.
