Systems and methods for an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) capable of automatically balancing large and heavy objects for transport through a facility. One embodiment is an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) including a balancing plate configured to support a load, load sensors configured to detect a weight distribution of the load, and an actuator configured to shift the balancing plate laterally. The AGV also includes a weight balancing controller configured to determine a center of gravity of the load based on the weight distribution detected by the load sensors, to determine that the center of gravity of the load is vertically misaligned with a center of gravity of the AGV, and to direct the actuator to shift the balancing plate laterally to move the center of gravity of the load toward vertical alignment with the center of gravity of the AGV.
