A forklift-type automated guided vehicle includes a body and a control circuit unit received in the body, both a first fork arm and a second fork arm parallel to each other and formed on a front end of the body to forklift cargo, each of the first fork arm, the second fork arm and a bottom end of the body including at least one two-wheel differential driving assembly rotatably connected to the first and second fork arms, and the body, respectively, and electrically connected to the control circuit unit. The two-wheel differential driving assembly includes a left driving wheel and a right driving wheel formed opposite to each other which can be independently driven to realize differential rotation. The present disclosure not only can forklift cargo with a small turning radius, but also can realize left-to-right sideways movements and an in-place rotation and a U-turn movement.
