This invention provides an AGV scheduling method and apparatus, comprising: whenever a new controlled area is generated, performing the following operations: for each task to be executed, prohibiting the planned path of the task to be executed from including the new controlled area; for each first AGV with unassigned tasks within the new controlled area, instructing the first AGV to leave the new controlled area; for each currently executing task, if the current position of the second AGV executing the current task is within the new controlled area, instructing the second AGV to leave the new controlled area; if the current position of the third AGV executing the current task is outside the new controlled area, prohibiting the third AGV from entering the new controlled area. The AGV scheduling method and apparatus of this invention not only improves the efficiency of manual operations but also minimizes the
impact on existing AGV operations, maintaining warehouse operational efficiency.
