AGV can travel along the prescribed guiding path, and it is a transport vehicle with safety protection and multiple load shifting functions. AGV belongs to WMR-wheeled mobile robot. In industrial applications, trucks without drivers use rechargeable batteries as their power source.
Generally speaking, its travel route and behavior can be controlled by computer, or its travel route can be established by electromagnetic track (electromagnetic tracking system). The electromagnetic track is attached to the floor, and the unmanned vehicle moves according to the information brought by the electromagnetic track.
AGV was first used in the warehousing industry to realize the automatic handling of goods in and out of the warehouse. For example, Suning Logistics' large AGV robot warehouse can select 1000 supermarket department stores every day, which is the first logistics warehouse in Shandong Peninsula to truly realize robot intelligent operation.
In the robot warehouse work area in Jinan, Suning, the yellow-looking Suning logistics robot carried the shelves to the picking table in an orderly manner according to the route set by the system. In this process, it depends entirely on system control and does not need manual intervention. Dozens of robots of AGV shuttled through the warehouse, and the busy scene was quiet and harmonious, just like a sci-fi blockbuster.
AGV is applied to the production line of manufacturing industry, which can complete the material handling task efficiently, accurately and flexibly. Moreover, a flexible logistics handling system can be composed of multiple AGVs, and the handling route can be adjusted in time with the adjustment of production technology, so that a production line can manufacture more than a dozen products, which greatly improves the flexibility of production and the competitiveness of enterprises.

In addition to the warehousing and manufacturing mentioned above, AGV is also used in post offices, libraries, ports and airports. The characteristics of parallel operation, automation, intelligence and flexibility of AGV can well meet the handling requirements of the above occasions.
There are also tobacco, medicine, food, chemical industry and other fields. In tobacco, medicine, food, chemical industry and other industries with special requirements such as cleanliness, safety and no emission pollution, the application of AGV has also received attention.
In dangerous places and special industries, such as the army, other detection and disassembly equipment can be integrated based on AGV autopilot, which can be used for battlefield demining and position reconnaissance. MINDER Recce, which is being developed by the British military, is an automatic reconnaissance vehicle with the ability of mine detection, destruction and route verification.
In iron and steel works, AGV is used for burden transportation, which reduces the labor intensity of workers. In nuclear power plants and places where nuclear radiation is used for preservation and storage, AGV is used to transport articles, thus avoiding dangerous radiation. In the film and film warehouse, AGV can transport materials and semi-finished products accurately and reliably in the dark environment.
