What are AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) / AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots)? Robot Bank explains! [Part 2]
ロボットバンク
Differences and Application Areas of AGV and AMR AGVs and AMRs contribute to productivity improvements in logistics and manufacturing industries. Understanding the characteristics of each allows for more effective utilization. Differences in Movement Methods and Range AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) Movement Method: Guided by magnetic tape or guide wires Range: Within a fixed route AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) Movement Method: Generates routes autonomously and navigates while avoiding obstacles Range: Adaptation to environments where layouts of items change AGVs are specialized in operating along fixed routes to enhance efficiency. In contrast, AMRs utilize sensing technology to flexibly create maps in response to layout changes and obstacles, calculating the optimal path within that context. This capability to automatically collaborate with humans in transporting items is what is referred to as Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). For more details, visit https://www.robotbank.jp/2868.html
