…robot to deploy for specific applications. The difference between AGVs and AMRs There are two main types of warehouse robots: automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The main difference between these two lies in their navigation technologies. AGVs typically use rail navigation, magnetic tape navigation, or wire-guided navigation to move around a facility, meaning they follow a fixed path. They are most commonly used for the transportation of raw materials such as paper, plastic, rubber, steel, and metal. AMRs move around the facility autonomously. They do so using technologies such as lidar, machine learning, and the cloud,…
