Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-enabled omni-directional robot for indoor urban delivery systems, addressing the challenges posed by confined spaces, frequent human interaction, and dynamic obstacles in urban indoor environments such as offices, malls, and hospitals. Traditional wheeled robots often lack the maneuverability needed to navigate efficiently in such spaces, which leads to operational inefficiencies and limits their practical use in automated delivery. To overcome these challenges, the proposed robot is equipped with omni-directional wheels, providing it with the ability to move in any direction without needing to rotate. This feature allows for enhanced mobility, especially in narrow or crowded areas. Additionally, ultrasonic sensors are integrated into the system for real-time obstacle detection and avoidance, ensuring the robot can autonomously navigate complex environments while avoiding collisions. The robot is controlled by an Arduino UNO microcontroller, and an ESP32 module provides IoT connectivity, enabling real-time monitoring, data transmission, and remote control of delivery operations. The robot’s performance was evaluated in a simulated urban indoor environment, where it successfully navigated confined spaces, avoided obstacles, and completed delivery tasks efficiently. Experimental results demonstrated the robot’s effectiveness in autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance, making it a viable solution for indoor delivery applications. Future work will focus on improving the system’s autonomy by incorporating advanced sensors such as LIDAR for more precise mapping and obstacle detection. Additionally, optimization of the power management system and the integration of machine learning algorithms for route optimization are proposed to enhance the robot’s performance in larger and more complex environments.
