The versatility of open source technologies could grant them an intriguing place in the industry. Moreparticularly, an open source hardware automated guided vehicle (AGV) might show up as an idealsolution for low-scale logistic process, as well as a useful development and didactic tool. What is more,a modular vehicle with interchangeable components would comply even better with this philosophy.Hereafter, besides from a literature review including research related to the many subjects that thisproject attempts to orchestrate, an open source hardware methodology has been followed, acomparison analysis of each component and structure performed and configurations of possible AGVsselected, in order to shed light on the viability of conducting this sort of project in reality. Plus, a modularframe has been designed and tested with computer-aided and simulation tools. The conclusions showthat constructing an open source-based industrial vehicle is to a high extent feasible, although theprecise economic outcomes are not clear and building a real model is a future requisite to give evidence.
There are other digital material (eg. film, imgage or audio files) or models/artifacts that belongs to the thesis and need to be archived.
