Description

Autonomous Driving Robots The present invention relates to an autonomous driving robot capable of transporting goods along a predetermined path and returning to the predetermined path through an external control means when deviating from the path. As the working-age population shrinks due to various factors such as the entry into an aging society and declining birth rates, efforts are being made to address this issue by applying various technologies, including robots and automation, as an alternative. In particular, industrial sites that operate using process technologies such as casting, molding, plastic processing, welding, and surface treatment are experiencing a chronic labor shortage. Furthermore, while logistics within factories are generally carried out using conveyors, this method is not suitable for electric vehicle parts due to the production of multiple product types in small quantities. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop technology that allows for the freer transportation of goods to address this issue.
