Development of an Automated Delivery Vehicle

The Covid – 19 pandemic has gone out of control all over the world causing nearly five million deaths. Number of affected persons keeps increasing and there is a huge problem of providing essential items for them.  The objective of this project is to design an Automated Delivery System, which is suitable for Sri Lanka during such pandemic situations. Because of the situations like this, delivery people do not like to reach affected areas even for business. Therefore, the people living in such areas face the problem of getting even the basic needs such as essential food items and medicine. As a solution, an unmanned automated delivery vehicle system has been proposed in this research, which can be mainly used in locked down areas in Sri Lanka. It can be used to deliver goods without a driver to the required places, while maintaining the health guidelines and required security and safety. This can be further extended to certain areas such as private apartments, hospitals, supermarkets etc. to deliver items in automated way.
