An autonomous mobile robot is a self-navigating robot that can move through environments without fixed paths or physical guides. Unlike traditional AGVs, AMRs use sensors, cameras, and software to understand their surroundings and avoid obstacles. They are widely used in warehouses, factories, and hospitals to transport goods and materials. Autonomous mobile robots adapt to layout changes and dynamic environments. This flexibility makes them a key technology in modern logistics and automation.
