Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are mobile robots used in industrial settings to transport materials or products within a facility without human intervention. They navigate using markers, wires, magnets, lasers, or cameras, following predetermined paths or dynamically mapping their environment.

Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help technicians troubleshoot issues and collaborate with facility teams. These abilities ensure the reliable operation and maintenance of AGVs, which are critical for efficient and safe automated material handling in industrial environments.
