Abstract
This paper describes the technology behind the automation of modern factory warehouses with multiple Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). In particular, we focus on intermediate results of Plug-and-Navigate Robots (PAN-Robots) project describing how the latest developed technologies have dealt with main issues about traffic, safety and performance of an automated warehouse. A survey about the market impact produced by first outcomes is then drafted and a roadmap to a pervasive diffusion of AGVs is finally presented.
