Autonomous Package Delivery Robot

The purpose of this project is to create a robotic package delivery system operating in the context of an environment with well-developed pedestrian-tailored infrastructure, such as a college campus. The Autonomous Package Delivery Robot (APDR) will be capable of carrying packages while autonomously navigating along sidewalks and avoiding obstacles to reach its final destination.

Objectives

With the hardware now completed for the robot, the goal is to make substantial strides on the software side. The robot still needs an easy to use GUI for users and admin, and more robust pathfinding for on sidewalks.

Motivations

The global autonomous delivery robots market is currently almost 25 million dollars, and is set to grow to 237 million dollars by 2027. Currently, autonomous delivery robots mainly deliver food and packages. Although they claim to be autonomous, many companies still require human 9 monitoring to track their movements.
