Abstract

Autonomous robots have a significant part in society in this new era of globalisation. There have been many different types of autonomous robots developed. This technology is used in a variety of settings, including the office, military, hospital operations, sports, agriculture, education, and more. An autonomous line following robot, out of all the autonomous robots, has been intended to protect workers who work in hazardous settings. At the same time, it is practical and safe for people, as social separation is required during the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the virus from spreading. This gives rise to the concept of a autonomous parcel collector robot. The robot may travel within a home area while collecting parcels for consumers using the line following method. This prototype of an autonomous parcel collector robot will be developed first by a computing unit. It is set up to give instructions to the other parts. Line following requires the use of a motor driver and sensors. The robot can receive and drop off objects using a servo motor and a loading base. The well-designed algorithm will be implemented in the computer unit for the purposes of carrying out instructions. This enables the robot to collect packages even when no one is present. The robot's lowest parcel collection time on that particular track was 48 seconds under steady conditions, which was much faster than any outcomes when the robot was carrying more weight. In addition, the robot's motors needed more power to move along the uneven road. Yet, the robot cannot move uphill even when the motor is driven at 100% duty cycle. To enable the robot to execute work more effectively and of higher quality, it is advised that the existing motors and chassis be replaced with stronger ones which comes with a larger power supply.
