Intralogistic material transport plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of production processes, as it provides machine supply. In order to reduce costs, many companies choose to automate this process by introducing autonomous guided vehicles. The first part of the thesis presents mobile robots, their history, different types, advantages and
disadvantages, as well as navigation methods. The focus then shifts to the application of autonomous guided vehicles in a real production environment, where a practical industrial case is demonstrated through simulation. Based on production requirements, the theoretical number of vehicles needed was calculated, and a cost comparison method was used to analyze the expenses of the existing and the automated transport system.
