Automation
Factory automation is a system that automates production control, management, and operation from product planning, design, and production preparation, and is a collective production process system that connects production facilities using robots and computers with communication and transportation equipment to produce, assemble, inspect, and pack various sizes and types of products simultaneously under computer control
Co Robot
Cooperative robots are also called cobots It refers to a robot designed for workers and robots to work together in the same space. A cooperative robot refers to a cooperative model between robots and humans that can maximize work efficiency and productivity while working with workers, not robots to replace workers

AGV
The AGV operates on a fixed path guided by wires, magnetic bands, or sensors.
These paths are predefined and require extensive installation, which can be costly and disruptive to production.
AGV is equipped with minimal onboard intelligence and can only follow simple programming instructions.
It can detect obstacles but cannot navigate around them, so stop until the obstacles are removed.
Changing the fixed path of the AGV incurs additional costs and interruptions.
AMR
AMR, in contrast, features intelligent navigation.
Like MiR's autonomous mobile robot, it uses sophisticated software with cameras, sensors, and laser scanners to construct maps and navigate autonomously.
Unlike AGVs, AMR does not rely on a fixed path; it can detect obstacles and choose the best alternative path to move safely around them.
This allows you to optimize productivity without disrupting material flow.
Intelligent navigation in AMR is the preferred choice in the considerations of AMR and AGV for dynamic environments.
