Automatic Guided Vehicle:
AGV WENDY DARLING
The name Wendy didn't exist before the story Peter Pan was written. What better name 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 last name that goes with it. AGV WENDY DARLING is one of three experimental vehicles put together by AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL MAGIC, LLC. The AIM team is made up of scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff scattered over three continents and 15 time zones. They are 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. The average number of people at any one time claiming team membership is about 60. Some team members have been on board for several years, others have just recently joined.
The contributions of Money, Manpower and Materials provided by our sponsors and volunteers are what move this project ahead. It's fun and it's for a great cause. You can make a difference!
