The term "automated guided vehicle" (AGV) is a general one that encompasses all transport systems capable of functioning without driver operation.
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) help to reduce costs of manufacturing and increase efficiency in a manufacturing system.
AGVs can tow objects behind them in small trailers which they can autonomously hook up to. These trailers can be used to move raw materials into line to get them ready to be manufactured.
The AGV can also store objects on a bed. The objects can be placed on a set of motorized treads and then pushed off by reversing them. Some AGVs use forklifts to lift objects for storage. Transporting materials such as medicine in a hospital situation is also done.
