This paper describes the cooperations method by knowledge exchange for AGVs autonomous moving in the autonomous decentralized FMS. The method gives AGV an individual knowledge called AGV knowledge and, by exchanging the AGV knowledge, each AGV can avoid the collisions. This method is not the conventional control by a host computer but the communications between AGVs. After applying the developed method for the 9 types FMS constructed in a computer, the number of head-on collisions are deleted.
