  • I am working on a project to develop an Autonomous Mobile Delivery Robot designed to deliver orders within a predefined environment.
  • The robot must navigate from the start to the endpoint, avoiding obstacles and using its sensors to guide its path. Currently, we are focusing on autonomous navigation using the "PIONEER 3" robot and the "ANavS Positioning and Navigation System." GNSS is employed for global positioning, and ROS software is used for automation.
  • I am developing motion planning models and have implemented SLAM with LIDAR, RADAR, and Depth Camera to enhance navigation and obstacle avoidance. The project is ongoing, with our team committed to achieving the project's goals.
