<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a structure of a conveyance route of an AGV by eliminating an operation position indication mechanism such as an address plate or an address sensor. <P>SOLUTION: An AGV 10 has drive wheels and a pair of left and right conveyance route detection sensors capable of detecting aluminum which is nonmagnetic metal. A looped conveyance route 2 is constructed on a floor surface of a manufacturing factory 1 with guide sections G1 to GN+1 made of the aluminum as well as a plurality of unguided sections P1 to PN where the guide section is interrupted. Each unguided section is provided with an operation position indication function, through offline teaching, indicating an operation position of the AGV and at least either one of following operations to be executed at the operation position: a stop operation, a direction change operation, a start operation, a goods unloading operation, or a goods loading operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
