Abstract
This paper introduces an autonomous robot (AR) cart to execute the last mile delivery task. We use navigation and intelligent avoidance algorithms to plan the path of the automatic robot. When AR encounters a new unrecognizable terrain, it will give control to the customer who can control the AR on its mobile app and navigate to the specified destination. We have initially designed an autonomous delivery robot with the cost of 2774 dollars.
Highlights
With the advance of technologies, the cost of an LiDAR continues to fall and the network communication speed becomes faster and faster, which makes the realization of autonomous robot delivery possible
This paper introduces an autonomous robot (AR) cart to execute the last mile delivery task
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the United States, self-driving cars are categorized into 5 levels: Level 0—No Automation, Level 1—Function Specific Automation, Level 2—Combined Function Automation, Level 3—Limited Self Driving Automation, Level 4—Full Self Driving Automation
Summary
With the advance of technologies, the cost of an LiDAR continues to fall and the network communication speed becomes faster and faster, which makes the realization of autonomous robot delivery possible. As the technology continues to develop, self-driving cars are expected to be real-world practical in another 5 - 10 years. Form the mainstream perspective, using autonomous robot cart (as shown in Figure 1) to execute the last mile delivery task can bring a considerable sum of profits. To reinsure the delivery will be delivered to the customer, when AR encounters new and unrecognizable terrain, it will pass its control to the customer. As such customer can control the AR on their mobile app and navigate it to come to their appointed destinations
