The demand for robotic deliveries has increased exponentially under the mandates of social distancing due to the safety of contactless deliveries. This project develops an autonomous delivery robot for the WPI campus, capable of transporting packages, food, equipment, and other items from one location to another. To complete deliveries, the robot utilizes a novel inverse belt box transmission system and navigates using pathfinding, path following, and collision avoidance.
