    Autonomous Guided Vehicle or AGV is one of material handling equipment that has been widely used in most manufacturing industry today as it provides more flexibility to the systems. The basic concept of the AGV incorporates battery-powered and remotely operate vehicles with programming for path selection and positioning. This project includes the designing for this AGV. Using software SOLID WORKS, the design of the vehicle can be done with the respect of specification needed. The drive and steering mechanism is an important system of any AGV as the navigation of the AGV is totally governed by the drive and steering mechanism. The types of AGV, the basic concept, the classifications of the AGV and the steering mechanism that usually used in common AGV will be reviewed. Then, this project will be focusing on the mechanical design concept of the AGV which combines knowledge on parts such as the electric motor, gears, gear head, wheel, bearing, coupling of the AGV and others mechanical parts that are essential for this project.
