Autonomous UGV Delivery Systems

摘要

In this paper, we propose to explain the application of automated ground vehicles as delivery robots. This system is developed and designed with the intended application being delivery of items within large campuses and buildings. The system proposed in this paper uses Google maps and direction API for getting the navigation data, but the same can be implemented without using third party application if the map of the intended area of usage is available. Donkey and carrot algorithm has been developed and used for navigation using the data obtained from the used API. To get the data on to the unmanned ground vehicle, a server is set up on the onboard microcontroller which gets the data from the cloud, on which further processing is done.
