A module to adapt an existing line-following automated guided vehicle into an automated guided vehicle that can navigate along a path without requiring a physical guide line to follow. The module has a communication interface which receives path information relating to a virtual path the line-following automated guided vehicle is to follow around an environment. An input to the module receives location information relating to the location of the line-following automated guided vehicle. A processor generates a control signal based on an off set between the location of the line-following automated guided vehicle and a location on the virtual path. The line-following automated guided vehicle has an existing steering controller that steers the line-following automated guided vehicle along a path by following a physical guide line. The control signal from the module is generated in a format to control the existing steering controller to steer the line-following automated guided vehicle navigate along the virtual path without needing to follow a physical guide line.
