\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAGV. AMR. Autonomous. Automatic. Driverless.
These terms are everywhere \u2013 but what do they really mean?

In the VDI Technical Committee FA 309 \u2018Mobile Robotics\u2019, we have been looking into precisely this. Together with Peter Stoiber and Thomas Albrecht \u2013 both long-standing members of the Technical Committee \u2013 I\u2019ll be discussing terminology, definitions and why a sound understanding of the technology is the foundation for any successful AGV\/AMR deployment.

We\u2019ll be discussing, explaining and defining \u2013 in a practical and straightforward way.

I look forward to seeing you there!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
