An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), commonly referred to as an AGV trolley, is a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices. It is capable of driving along a prescribed navigation path, featuring safety protection and various transfer functions. In industrial applications, these vehicles do not require a driver and utilize rechargeable batteries as their primary power source.

A notable feature of the AGV is its unmanned driving capability. Equipped with an automatic guidance system, it ensures that the vehicle travels along a predetermined route without manual piloting, automatically transporting goods or materials from the starting point to the destination. Additionally, AGVs offer excellent flexibility, a high degree of automation, and a superior level of intelligence. The driving path can be flexibly modified based on storage space requirements or production process flows, and the cost of path modification is very low compared to rigid, traditional conveyor belts.

AGVs are typically equipped with automatic loading and unloading mechanisms, interfacing seamlessly with other logistics equipment to automate the entire handling process. Powered by onboard batteries, AGVs operate quietly and emission-free, making them highly suitable for clean industrial working environments.
