Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are mobile robots that can understand and navigate their environment independently. They are different from Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), which rely on tracks or pre-defined paths and often require operator supervision.

AMRs use a combination of sensors, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and path planning algorithms to navigate their environment without the need for wires or pre-defined paths. AMRs are equipped with cameras and sensors that allow them to perceive their surroundings and avoid obstacles. If an AMR encounters an unexpected obstacle, such as a fallen box or a crowd of people, it will use collision avoidance techniques to slow down, stop, or re-route around the object.
