Abstract
An automated guided vehicle is provided and includes a frame in which a driving wheel is accommodated and an actuator that is connected to lift and lower a first portion of the frame centered around a hinge part formed at a second portion of the frame. Only one side of the frame is lifted to lift the driving wheel from the floor, thus reducing capacity and power consumption of the driving motor, and a region for space utilization is increased by reducing a size by applying the driving motor.
