The versatility of open source technologies could grant them an intriguing place in the industry. More particularly, an open source hardware automated guided vehicle (AGV) might show up as an ideal solution 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 this project attempts to orchestrate, an open source hardware methodology has been followed, a comparison analysis of each component and structure performed and configurations of possible AGVs selected, in order to shed light on the viability of conducting this sort of project in reality. Plus, a modular frame has been designed and tested with computer-aided and simulation tools. The conclusions show that constructing an open source-based industrial vehicle is to a high extent feasible, although the precise economic outcomes are not clear and building a real model is a future requisite to give evidence.
