Autonomous Delivery Robot

Code the Autonomous Delivery Robot to follow a black line on a set course, beep and stop when something is in it’s path.

Big Idea

In this lesson, we’ll delve into how AI and Autonomous Delivery Robots are revolutionizing delivery systems, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. You’ll discover the environmental and ethical impacts of these technologies, from reducing emissions to addressing societal implications. By the end, you’ll understand the crucial role of AI-driven automation in shaping a more sustainable future.

Take Action!

In the “Take Action” section, we’ll channel our learning from the “Big Idea” into building a model Automated Delivery Vehicle. You’ll harness your understanding to craft a simulated Automated Delivery vehicle, programmed to navigate a delivery route efficiently.

This exercise aims to demonstrate how technology can enhance workplace productivity, improve safety, and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
