  • Publication number: 20240319744
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, systems, and a computer readable medium for controlling an automatic guided vehicle (AGV). In some embodiments of the method, a first load identifier is determined at a first location on a predetermined trajectory of the AGV. The first load identifier represents a first load condition at the first location. A first set of values of a plurality of control parameters is determined based on the first load identifier. A movement of the AGV is controlled based on the first set of values. With these embodiments, the movement of the AGV can be controlled according to a set of values of control parameters based on the load condition.
