Beschreibung
This professional book provides an overview of mobile robotics in intralogistics. This includes automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The handbook traces the historical development of these floor-bound systems through various eras, explains the technical fundamentals of the vehicles, and illustrates a wide range of applications in industry and hospital logistics using numerous practical examples. Another key focus is the holistic planning of such systems.
The 3rd edition takes into account the tremendous changes in international markets during the recent years. It also highlights which fundamental ideas of mobile robotics have remained valid from the very beginning to the present day and ventures a look into the future with necessary innovations.
