In this paper it is discussed the proposal of a small robot prototype to be applied in the MicroFactory competition, a downsized version of the Robot@Factory competition. The MicroFactory is intended to help junior competitors to make the transition from the Junior Leagues to the senior competition Robot@Factory. The Robot@Factory competition takes place in an emulated factory plant, where Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) must cooperate to perform tasks. To accomplish their goals the AGVs must deal with localization, navigation, scheduling and cooperation problems, that must be solved autonomously. ; This work is financed by the ERDF European Regional Development Fund through the Operational Programme for Competitiveness and Internationalisation – COMPETE 2020 Programme, and by National Funds through the FCT Fundação o para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) within project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006961. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
