AutoBot: A Semi-Autonomous Bot

In e-commerce business, automation, and robotics play a crucial role in reducing costs and delivering items to customers as quickly as possible. This paper presents a hardware prototype of a semi-autonomous robot that can communicate solely through Python commands. The robot is capable of moving in all directions, following a desired trajectory, and unloading a payload of a specific size at the desired location. By utilizing this technology, the use of robotics in factories can be optimized to eliminate human labor and establish a smart factory based solely on semi-autonomous and path-planning robots. The robot will be controlled using the ESP8266 microcontroller through Wi-Fi communication and Python commands, resulting in a faster average response time of 0.7 seconds. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the potential for using semi-autonomous robots in the e-commerce industry to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
