EasyDrive™ FAQ

What is the difference between AGVs and AMRs?

AGV stands for “Automated Guided Vehicle.” These self-driving vehicles can transport goods and people. AMR describes autonomous mobile robots that can move around on their own. AGV and AMR can complete similar tasks. However, while there are many different types of autonomous robots, an AMR sets itself apart with the ability to move itself.

What are the four main types of steering?

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) typically utilize various steering methods to navigate and maneuver autonomously. The main types of steering used in AMRs include:

Differential Steering: Differential steering involves controlling the speeds of the left and right wheels independently. By varying the wheel speeds, the AMR can turn by driving the wheels on one side faster or slower than the other.
Ackermann Steering: This is a more advanced steering method used in certain AMRs. It involves turning the front wheels at different angles while keeping all wheels at a common center point. This ensures the AMR follows a circular path during turns, reducing skidding and minimizing the risk of damaging the flooring or surroundings.
Swerve Steering: Swerve steering, also known as omnidirectional steering. It employs individual steerable wheels, each capable of rotating independently around its vertical axis.
Mecanum Wheel Steering: This steering utilizes specialized wheels with angled rollers mounted at 45-degree angles to the wheel’s rotational axis. By controlling the rotation of these wheels, AMRs can achieve omnidirectional movement, enabling them to move sideways and diagonally with ease.

What is the difference between traction and steering modules?

Steering and traction modules have distinct functions when it comes to controlling movement and navigation for AMRs and AGVs. The steering module adds control to the direction or path of the vehicle’s travel route to a traction module. This module determines how the vehicle turns and changes its orientation to navigate the space while driving the system into position. The traction module simply provides the necessary traction and power to move the AMR or AGV along the ground. It ensures the wheels or tracks of the vehicle have sufficient grip on the surface while using differential or other types of steering to navigate into position.
