Project Description:
The purpose of the Autonomous Package Delivery Robot (APDR) project is to provide Oregon State University campus residents with a safe and autonomous package delivery service. This is the third year this project has been in development. The main design focuses for this project include an improved power management system, a more robust pathfinding software, and user safety. Several sensors, including LiDAR and a deep depth camera are used to track and map the robot's location. The framework for the mapping and navigation algorithms are provided by the Robot Operating System (ROS). The frame, motors, and batteries for this robot were recycled from an old electric wheelchair.
