What is an Autonomous Vehicle?

An Autonomous Vehicle is a self-driving mobile platform designed to transport materials and goods within a facility without human intervention.

Using advanced sensors, navigation systems, and intelligent software, these vehicles can plan and execute their routes efficiently, safely, and reliably.

Autonomous Vehicles bring multiple benefits to internal logistics operations, including higher productivity, reduced human error, improved safety, and total traceability of materials and processes.

AMR vs AGV: What Makes a Robot Truly Autonomous?

The main difference between AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) lies in their navigation system:

AGV

They move using external hardware such as guides or magnetic strips, following fixed routes with limited intelligence and executing simple programmed instructions.

AMR

Thanks to technologies like artificial intelligence, AMRs can navigate naturally, interpret their surroundings, and plan routes based on maps, without any additional infrastructure. That’s why we call them truly autonomous robots.

How to choose the right AMR system?

At AND & OR, we analyze your project in detail and provide expert guidance to ensure you get the ideal AMR based on the following operational criteria:

  • Load type: weight, dimensions, base type, etc.
  • Pickup and delivery positions: conveyors, floor, shelves, warehouses, etc.
  • Routes: aisle width, floor type, location, etc.
  • Throughput: production rate or number of moves per shift.
  • Other factors: humidity, lighting, etc.
  • Warehouse configuration: narrow aisles vs wide aisles or open areas (turning radius).
  • Lift requirements: from 0 (ground-level movement) up to 8,500 mm.
  • Load capacity without height: from 350 kg up to 2,000 kg.
