This paper describes systems of multiple Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) used in factory logistics for the transportation of goods. We describe currently applied solutions, highlighting the main issues that, so far, have prevented a pervasive diffusion of these systems. A roadmap of technological solutions is then drafted, to improve the performance of AGV systems and boost their wide application in factory logistics.
