The document discusses automated guided vehicles used to carry and tow loads driverlessly. It describes how early vehicles in the 1950s followed wires to tow trucks and trains. The document then focuses on the group's vehicle, explaining it uses an Arduino microcontroller and sensors like LDRs to guide itself differently than other techniques. It is designed for compactness and high load capacity due to its wheel diameter. Applications include handling raw and finished materials in factories using low-cost components like the L298N motor controller.
