Automated Drone Delivery System

Abstract

In the realm of urban logistics, the deployment of automated drone delivery systems has emerged as a transformative solution for urgent package deliveries. This research endeavors to design and construct a fully autonomous drone tailored for rapid and precise deliveries from scratch. Leveraging innovative technologies, including Arduino Uno as the central processing unit, along with GPS modules, NRF24LO1, Ultrasonic sensors, and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, we create a sophisticated delivery system. Central to our approach is the strategic placement of multiple delivery stations across the city. Each drone is dedicated to a specific route between two delivery stations. When a delivery order is placed, the drone's software autonomously calculates the optimal distance to the nearest delivery station, ensuring swift and energy-efficient deliveries. Crucially, our system operates without human intervention, relying solely on advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to navigate the urban landscape effectively. This paper elucidates the technical intricacies of our drone's design, detailing the integration of sensors, software algorithms, and communication modules. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis, we validate the efficacy of our automated drone delivery system. Our findings not only showcase the practicality of autonomous drone technology in urban logistics but also underscore the potential for its widespread implementation in real-world scenarios, revolutionizing the future of package deliveries.
