What Are The Differences Between AGV And AMR in Usage Scenarios

The difference between AGV and AMR
Both AGV and AMR can realize material transportation, but their similarities end there. The difference between AMR and AGV is that the former itself has powerful computing power. It can sense the surrounding environment through sensors and make corresponding decisions; and then The controller is just a large actuator, and every move depends on the scheduling of the central control system.
①Differences in path planning
AGV is unable to carry out complex, cumbersome, and intelligent instructions. It is prone to interruptions during equipment updates, and once it encounters obstacles during transportation, it can only stop operating. AMR is more sensitive and can intelligently select the most effective way to reach the destination, easily avoid obstacles, automatically transport across layers, complete work efficiently and safely, and optimize productivity.
②Differences in application scenarios
AGV appears to be relatively simple in this application implementation, and is limited to following a fixed route in the factory that is fixedly installed on the ground; if the route needs to be changed, the setting planning and ground layout need to be reset, causing production interruption and other benefit effects. AMR requires only simple software adjustments to change tasks to meet changing environments, production requirements and task execution priority settings.
③Differences in environmental requirements
The basic conditions of China's warehouses are generally poor, with serious ground subsidence, uneven ground, and even cracks. AGV cannot adapt to this environment, but AMR can. Its ready-to-use performance features allow companies to fully control the robot and its functions.
④Input cost difference
With more powerful functions, the price of a single product will be higher, but AMR does not require in-factory modifications and the overall cost will be better controlled.
