| Factor | AGV | AMR |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation | Follows installed guidance cues and preplanned travel lanes | Uses map-based self-localization and route computation |
| Obstacle Handling | Stops when the path is blocked | Can assess the scene and select an alternate way through |
| Deployment | Needs more site preparation and route setup | Begins with mapping and software integration |
| Flexibility and Scalability | Better for stable and repeatable flows | Better for changing layouts, variable demand, and fleet growth |
| Intelligence and Edge Computing | Lower autonomy burden, more deterministic control | Heavier onboard and edge processing for perception and decision-making |
