…detection, and ranging (lidar), and ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors, to detect objects and avoid collisions. However, because AGVs can only change their route or destination with manual intervention, they are generally limited to a particular task. Lack of flexibility and limited decision-making capabilities have led to more advanced robots. AMRs take the AGV concept a step further with the ability…
