There are many types of AGV robots, the most common of which are as follows:
Traditional guided AGVs: These AGV robots determine their path and direction through guidance methods such as ground indicator lines or magnetic navigation bars.
Laser-guided AGV: This type of AGV robot uses laser sensors to scan the environment and determine its own position and navigation path.
Visual navigation AGV: This type of AGV robot uses visual recognition technology, such as cameras or LiDAR, to perceive the environment and navigate.
Inertial navigation AGV: This type of AGV robot uses inertial navigation systems, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, to determine its own position and mode of movement.
Autonomous obstacle avoidance AGV: This type of AGV robot is equipped with a variety of sensors, such as ultrasonic, infrared or radar, which can detect and avoid obstacles.
When selecting AGV robots, companies should consider the following factors:
Job tasks: Define the specific tasks that the AGV robot needs to perform, such as transporting materials, handling goods, and automating assembly.
Environmental requirements: Consider the characteristics of the working environment, such as ground conditions, space constraints, and temperature conditions, to ensure that the selected AGV robot can adapt to the working environment.
Navigation technology: Select appropriate navigation technology based on actual needs, such as traditional guidance, laser navigation, visual navigation, etc., to ensure that the robot can navigate accurately, avoid obstacles, and complete tasks.
Load capacity: Consider the weight and size of the materials to be transported or handled, and select an AGV robot with sufficient load capacity.
Safety: Focus on the robot's safety features, such as emergency stop function, safety sensors and collision avoidance devices, to ensure safe and reliable robot operation.
Scalability: Considering future business development and the scalability of the robot system, select AGV robots that are upgradeable and adaptable.
