Growth in the application of autonomous robots in different industrial sectors such as automotive and healthcare and raising awareness about the benefits of autonomous mobile robots fuel the demand for autonomous mobile robots. Due to their unique operational characteristics and patterns, the demand for autonomous robots has recently increased significantly.However, in the present day, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) threaten AGVs with their more advanced, adaptable, and affordable technology. Until recently, traditional automated guided vehicles (AGVs) were the only option for automating internal transportation tasks.These delays can cause severe performance problems in automated guided vehicles for networked control systems. However, the nature of the radio channels and the medium access control (MAC) generates random communication delays. Wireless communication systems in industrial environments must guarantee that the information is sent and received within precise time bounds.Moreover, warehouse execution software (48 percent ), order-picking technology (46 percent ), and robotic solutions (44 percent ) have been widely implemented solutions currently, which are also most expected to receive further investment soon. The use of mobile robots guides work solutions, and computer-controlled equipment has been regarded as necessary by companies in Honeywell's Study. With social distancing becoming more common in the workplace, connected solutions and automation assist in continuing daily operations.

Hence, to maintain competitive advantage and increase the efficiency of the container terminal, AGVs are being deployed that formulate good dispatching strategies and simultaneously enhance operational efficiencies.

The efficiency of a container terminal is directly related to the amount of time each vessel spends in the port. These unmanned vehicles transfer containers between ships and storage locations on land. Mobile Robots are increasingly becoming the popular mode of container transport in seaport terminals.It is paramount that ships are unloaded and loaded promptly at the port to satisfy customer demand. Consequently, container terminals have become an important component of logistic networks. Factors such as decreasing costs, lower rates of transport, rising customer demand, and globalization of trade have caused a steady increase in the use of containers for sea-borne cargo.For instance, according to IBEF, the Indian e-commerce market is expected to flourish from USD 38.5 billion in 2017 to USD 200 billion by 2026.
