AUTONOMOUS PARCEL DELIVERY ROBOT 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In this project, we have managed to design
an autonomous delivery robot system used in the
collection and delivery of parcels. The design is
cap0able of autonomously picking up a parcel and
delivering it to the required destination and then
return. The findings demonstrate that the
deployment of the autonomous will be of great’s
helps to logistical tasks such as delivery and
collection of the documents. The workers thus will
be able to shift the focus and time on other things.

The autonomous vehicles are being applied in
places such as hospitals, homes and even the
offices. The designed autonomous robot will be able
to move from one location to the other without
having specific markers or indicators.
One advantage with the developed system is
that it will be able to navigate within the designated
destinations with high precision to avoid causing
accidents to the adjacent objects or persons.
Besides, the picture below illustrates how the
designed robot will look like.
