Research Evolution and Development Trends of AGV Technology in the Field of Intelligent Manufacturing

With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) have become an important technology for enhancing production efficiency, reducing costs and optimizing resource allocation. Through analysis, combined with CiteSpace and vosviewer software, this paper discusses the evolution and development trend of AGV technology in intelligent manufacturing. Based on 150 effective literatures in the web of science database, this paper analyzes the research hotspots of AGV technology, such as path planning, scheduling optimization, Internet of things (IOT) and the application of 5g technology. Research shows that AGV technology is evolving towards greater intelligence and integration, and is deeply integrated with technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, promoting the further development of intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
