Autonomous Delivery Bot

Autonomous Indoor Courier with Local LLM Dispatch

Designed to automate intra-building transport across multi-story campus facilities. The vehicle utilizes real-time obstacle navigation, path planning, and autonomous guidance.

Key Technological Innovation

Controlled through a custom-built mobile app powered by a localized Large Language Model (LLM). Users dispatch errands using plain conversational natural language without requiring manual coordinate inputs.
