Warehouse robot

Project Title

Warehouse robot

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

We are developing autonomous warehouse robot. It will work for indoor activities. Map of the warehouse will be given and the starting point will be fixed. We will give the location of destination via mobile app and robot will deliver the items to the destination and will reach back to starting position. 

Project Objectives

We want to reduce human efforts in the warehouse and labour costs. We also want to reduce human error and also want to save time. We are developing it for the dynamic environment so environmental conditions are not heavily affected it.

Project Implementation Method

First, we have designed a mobile app through which we will give destination. then we are applying different algorithms to reach a destination. There are eight fixed destinations so the robot will reach a pointed destination and deliver the items and will do again mapping and reach a fixed starting position.

Benefits of the Project

>It will reduce labour costs 

>It will save time because it works continuously

>It will work in a dynamic environment so not affected by seasonal conditions, temperature and light etc

>No human life loss in case of emergency

> Environment-friendly as it uses charged batteries

>Production improved

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

It will be controlled by a mobile app and easily adjustable to any warehouse. The map can be changed easily. We will use Arduino UNO and stepper motors. Obstacle avoidance would be done by ultrasonic sensors. In the case of a permanent obstacle, remapping will be done.
