Autodrop
Autonomous delivery services
Who are we?
Autodrop aims to be a self-contained shipping solution for cooperations and individuals alike. We wish to provide a full ecosystem for autonomous vehicles/drones which can deliver cargo from your warehouses (or doorsteps) to anywhere in the world ASAP
How the magic happens :
Autodrop uses state-of-the-art algorithms to find the shortest routes from just a picture of a map and ensures high-speed delivery of goods with the lowest carbon footprint possible.
In addition, we also outfit our drones with our in-house self-driving technologies to detect obstacles and weather to deliver your package to you safely.
1) Pathfinding Algorithms :
To find the shortest route, we have utilized heuristic search algorithms. Namely:
a. Greedy Best First Search
b. Beam search
c. A* Search
d.Human-emulation search
Our project takes BMP image files as input map data then applies the above algorithms. It then outputs the route according to the selected algorithm in an image file and also provides a .csv file comparing the various algorithms To learn more about how it works and how we made it, click me ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
2) Autonomous navigation technologies :
Our project also uses real-time object detection using haar features to detect obstacles, lanes and the weather to reduce accidents due to human error and optimally follow the route determined by the pathfinding component.
