Abstract
An autonomous logistics robot is designed for the purpose of transporting goods from one location to another
without the need for human intervention. In previous models, robots relied on magnetic strips to navigate and reach their
destinations. However, these conventional models had some drawbacks; if there were obstacles in their path, the robots
would become stuck and unable to proceed towards their destination. To address these issues, a new model has been
proposed. This model eliminates the necessity for human intervention and magnetic strips to guide the robot to its
destination. Moreover, the cost of this model is significantly lower than that of the conventional approach. Consequently,
this proposed model establishes the logistics robot as fully autonomous, eliminating the requirement for human
interference. The robot achieves autonomous movement through the utilization of LiDAR Depth sensors and obstacle
sensors. The Robotic Operating System (ROS) in conjunction with Raspberry Pi 3 is employed to map the path for the
autonomous robot.
