An article transportation method, the method comprises: controlling an automated guided vehicle to move to a bottom of a target article, the target article being an article to be moved; determining an offset distance between a critical position of the AGV and a critical position of the target article, the critical position of the AGV being a position of any point on the AGV, and the critical position of the target article being a position of any point of the target article at the bottom; controlling the AGV to perform position adjustment according to the offset distance until a central position of the AGV corresponds to a central position of the target article; and controlling the AGV to lift the target article at a current position and move the target article; characterized in that, said controlling the AGV to perform position adjustment comprises: controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than a first predetermined distance threshold and less than a second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move in a circumferential movement fashion until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article; and controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than or equal to the second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move away from the bottom of the target article, and adjusting the central position of the AGV until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article. controlling an automated guided vehicle to move to a bottom of a target article, the target article being an article to be moved; determining an offset distance between a critical position of the AGV and a critical position of the target article, the critical position of the AGV being a position of any point on the AGV, and the critical position of the target article being a position of any point of the target article at the bottom; controlling the AGV to perform position adjustment according to the offset distance until a central position of the AGV corresponds to a central position of the target article; and controlling the AGV to lift the target article at a current position and move the target article; characterized in that, said controlling the AGV to perform position adjustment comprises: controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than a first predetermined distance threshold and less than a second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move in a circumferential movement fashion until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article; and controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than or equal to the second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move away from the bottom of the target article, and adjusting the central position of the AGV until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article. controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than a first predetermined distance threshold and less than a second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move in a circumferential movement fashion until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article; and controlling, in response to the offset distance being greater than or equal to the second predetermined distance threshold, the AGV to move away from the bottom of the target article, and adjusting the central position of the AGV until the central position of the AGV corresponds to the central position of the target article.
