A configurable modular robotic autonomous guided vehicle comprising: a robotic autonomous guided vehicle engine module with one or more motors, sensors, and a control system integrated with each other for intrinsic, wholly autonomous navigation freely throughout a travel area forming a logistic space, the integrated one or more motors, sensors, and control system being packaged within a module housing forming the robotic autonomous guided vehicle engine module as a module unit, and having a module interface at one end of the module unit for modular kinematic coupling of the module unit with a logistic or material handling accessory module of the configurable modular autonomous guided vehicle; and multiple different ones of the logistic or material handling accessory module (150A-150n), each with a corresponding different predetermined logistic or material handling characteristic that, on integral coupling of each different logistic or material handling accessory module with the module unit, define a different logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type, each of the different logistic or material handling accessory modules being selectably interchangeable with each other and configured to selectably couple via the module interface with module unit; wherein selectable coupling of the logistic or material handling accessory module with the module unit configures the configurable modular robotic autonomous guided vehicle so as to change the logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type from a first logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type to a second logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type different than the first logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type. a robotic autonomous guided vehicle engine module with one or more motors, sensors, and a control system integrated with each other for intrinsic, wholly autonomous navigation freely throughout a travel area forming a logistic space, the integrated one or more motors, sensors, and control system being packaged within a module housing forming the robotic autonomous guided vehicle engine module as a module unit, and having a module interface at one end of the module unit for modular kinematic coupling of the module unit with a logistic or material handling accessory module of the configurable modular autonomous guided vehicle; and multiple different ones of the logistic or material handling accessory module (150A-150n), each with a corresponding different predetermined logistic or material handling characteristic that, on integral coupling of each different logistic or material handling accessory module with the module unit, define a different logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type, each of the different logistic or material handling accessory modules being selectably interchangeable with each other and configured to selectably couple via the module interface with module unit; wherein selectable coupling of the logistic or material handling accessory module with the module unit configures the configurable modular robotic autonomous guided vehicle so as to change the logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type from a first logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type to a second logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type different than the first logistic or material handling autonomous guided vehicle type.
