The name Wendy didn't exist before the story Peter Pan was
written. What better name to use for an automated vehicle that never existed before than Wendy. It is also a name familiar to most people although we did
have to dig a bit to find out what Wendy's last name was.
AGV WENDY DARLING is one of the experimental vehicles being put together by AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL MAGIC to as
part of a program of learning by doing.
The AIM team is made up of scientists, engineers, technicians and support
staff.
These are your neighbors working in their spare time to solve the interesting engineering problems associated with getting a truck to drive itself safely
through city traffic.
The team is constantly changing as new people join and old team members go on to other things.
