Abstract (EN): Consumer's standards are getting higher, and the global market is more competitive than ever, demanding much more from the industry and services. Thus, material resources management is crucial to every company. The transport of materials between a warehouse and a production line is one classic example of a process possible to be optimized. The aim of this paper is to present the development of a prototype for an Automated Guided Vehicle, AGV. The purpose of the work was to build a small, lowcost, and electric vehicle able to transport small packages. All control devices, supervision applications, and user-interface software, was entirely developed for this project. Furthermore, the behavior of the robot will also be analyzed and discussed in this article.
