Instead AMRs work with cameras, laser sensors, and on-board computers to help them understand the environment in which they operate. This means that AMRs can map their own routes, changing directions according to obstacles and time efficiencies.<\/p>\n<p><!--This ability to think for themselves, plot the best routes to take, and react to their live environment makes AMRs a more efficient option than AGVs.--><\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight\"><em>The floors used by the robots need to <strong>comply with specific criteria <\/strong>which is dictated by the manufacturer, and the floors they work on need to be <strong>designed and constructed in such a way to allow the AMRs to operate at their optimum
