AGV vs AMR: ¿vía fija o auto-navegación?
Qué problema resuelve
Factory material delivery, garage cleaning and campus patrols all need robots to move things, but routes change: lines expand, goods pile up temporarily, weekend routines shift. Rerouting an AGV means re-laying strips or editing programs. An AMR maps once, and you draw a new path on the map; when it meets a person, it simply goes around.
Picking wrong is costly: heavy industrial transport with unchanged routes for ten years suits a cheap, tough magnetic AGV. Frequent route changes and human-mixed traffic on an AGV mean daily blockages.
Cómo leer las especificaciones clave
- AGV navigation method: magnetic strip is cheapest but costly to reroute; QR codes are accurate but need stickers everywhere; laser guidance sits between the two.
- AMR repeatability: mm-level alignment at charging docks and workstation docks decides whether unattended operation is possible.
- Fleet scheduling: when multiple robots run together, whether the dispatcher avoids congestion, yields and resolves deadlocks matters more than single-robot specs.
- Speed range: AGVs are generally slow; indoor AMRs run 0.5-1.5 m/s, outdoor patrol robots over 1.5 m/s.

Modelos recomendados
Tbot-N5-3D is a typical AMR chassis: single 3D multi-line LiDAR autonomous navigation, 100-500kg payload, replacing magnetic-strip AGVs for line-side material delivery; light-load use cases see the light AGV/AMR line. Compare parameters in the full spec table.
