Abstract:
We have stepped into a new era of technology marked with automated systems where the focus is on less dependence on human systems and more dependence on machines. Many companies have evolved to incorporate fully automated system in their production facilities such as in their production plants where machines replace human labor in the assembly lines in their logistics, in packing and delivering etc. The use of automated systems allows for many benefits enhancing efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness in countries where human labor is expensive. In many companies there is a requirement of automated delivery systems as it allows for 24/7 operations without the need for any human hands to bridge the gap between fully and semi-automated systems. Addressing this gap, our project endeavors to provide a solution of indoor delivery of different payloads to users working in a company or an office environment. Our delivery robot can allow for efficient indoor deliveries in a diverse environment consisting of obstacles such as furniture or humans moving together, offering safety as well as reliability. Our aim is to enhance the performance of our robot to make it more adaptable to different areas where faster and efficient round the clock deliveries are a concern. Using sensor technologies such as the LIDAR and algorithms such as SLAM, our proposed system enables accurate navigation, obstacle avoidance and path planning. Its control system is designed such that it can work through a diverse environment and can keep an eye on unexpected obstacles ensuring that it manages to stop and move around them.
