Abstract The implementation of AGV (automatic guided vehicle)is an important area on the research of intelligent mobile robot．The architecture and operational principle of a AGVS (automatic guided vehicle system)were discussed．Then the functional structure and hardware configuration of a testing AGV model were designed in detail．with the software implemented．Expectant effect was obtained by testing of the AGV mode1．which provided a reference for the development of AGVS applied in industrial process．
