This paper introduces an autonomous robot (AR) cart to execute the last mile delivery task. We use navigation and intelligent avoidance algorithms to plan the path of the automatic robot. When AR encounters a new unrecognizable terrain, it will give control to the customer who can control the AR on its mobile app and navigate to the specified destination. We have initially designed an autonomous delivery robot with the cost of 2774 dollars.
