Facilitator's Question: What are the constraints and limitations of automated guided vehicle (AGV) as shown in your Blog? Explain.

Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV)

Some AGVs use fork lifts to lift objects for storage. Transporting materials such as medicine in a hospital situation is also done. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is also known as Laser Guided Vehicle (LGV) or Self Guided Vehicle (SGV).

The limitations are it is automated and it is pre-programmed. Therefore it cannot do any other things which are not programmed for it. And also, it do not need an operator and it might be dangerous because if its spoilt, it will not be discover earlier and therefore might have a delay in the work.
