  By Mayur Divate*, Siddhi Dhulgand, Aditya Lokhande, Niranjan Labhade, Daisy Mudiar, R.A. Kapgate

  Abstract: Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are increasingly central to modern industrial automation, enhancing operational efficiency in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. Traditionally reliant on fixed paths using magnetic tapes or wired tracks, AGVs were limited in flexibility. However, recent technological advances have enabled the development of autonomous AGVs equipped with sensor fusion, LiDAR, computer vision, and artificial intelligence (AI). These features support real-time obstacle detection, dynamic path planning, and robust performance in …
