“RAPID DROP: AUTONOMOUS PACKAGE DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH EFFICIENT ROUTE OPTIMIZATION”

Abstract: With the growing demand for efficient, contactless delivery systems in both urban and rural environments, this project introduces an advanced Autonomous Delivery Robot designed to overcome existing logistical challenges. The robot features enhanced navigation capabilities achieved through the integration of sonar, IMU, RFID, and wheel encoders, ensuring accurate localization and dynamic path planning. Advanced obstacle detection and avoidance mechanisms allow the robot to navigate complex environments reliably. A secure package delivery system, equipped with RFID-based unlocking and real-time notifications, guarantees safe and user-friendly operations. The robot’s power system, comprising a Li-ion battery with intelligent BMS and solar panel support, ensures sustainability, extended runtime, and reduced downtime. Real-time monitoring through a live camera feed and communication via an interactive OLED display further enhance its functionality. By combining efficiency, sustainability, and advanced technology, this work redefines autonomous delivery solutions, offering a practical and scalable approach to modern logistics.
