Autonomous Delivery Robot

Objectives:

• Navigation and Mapping: Develop a robust navigation system that enables the robot to create maps of its environment and plan efficient routes to specified delivery points.
• Obstacle Detection and Avoidance: Implement sensors such as LiDAR, ultrasonic, or cameras to detect and avoid obstacles in real time, ensuring the robot can navigate around people, vehicles, and other impediments.
• Autonomous Operation: Enable the robot to operate autonomously, requiring minimal human intervention. The primary goal is to deliver packages from a source location to a specified destination accurately.
• User Interaction: Create a user-friendly interface for users to input delivery requests, track their deliveries, and interact with the robot if necessary.
• Safety and Reliability: Ensure the robot operates safely, including emergency stop mechanisms and reliable communication systems. The robot should be able to handle unexpected situations effectively.
• Efficiency and Sustainability: Optimize the robot's energy consumption, speed, and delivery time, as well as consider sustainable power sources such as batteries or solar panels.
• Customization: Design the robot to adapt to different types of payloads, allowing it to carry a variety of packages or groceries.
