CONCLUSION
As a result, we have successfully analyzed a number of
research papers written by various writers in order to better
understand how our system was developed. Our objective are
to create an autonomous delivery robot that could move
materials to the location we needed. A prototype of our
autonomous delivery robot, which will carry medicine.
