AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are robotic systems used in warehouses and distribution centers for material handling and transportation tasks. Warehouse AGVs are self-driving vehicles that autonomously navigate through warehouse facilities to perform various logistics tasks such as moving inventory, picking orders, and transporting goods without direct human operation.
