Détails

The project aims to develop an autonomous solution for low-speed vehicles (LSVs) used in last-mile delivery, focusing on cost-effectiveness and enhanced functionality. The primary goal is to integrate advanced safety systems and remote operation capabilities into these vehicles. By addressing key safety and operational challenges, the project seeks to improve the efficiency of LSVs in urban and suburban environments. Learners will apply their knowledge of autonomous systems, sensor integration, and remote control technologies to create a scalable solution. The project encourages innovation in vehicle automation, ensuring that the developed system is both practical and adaptable to various delivery scenarios.

Livrables

Students will work collaboratively to complete the following tasks and deliverables:


1-Safety Research and Analysis Report

  • Conduct research on safety challenges for low-speed vehicles in urban settings.
  • Deliver a report identifying key risks and proposing sensor placements for safe operation.

2-System Design Documentation

  • Define technical requirements for an autonomous solution, focusing on remote operation and safety systems.
  • Provide a detailed system architecture diagram integrating hardware and software components.

3-Simulation and Testing Plan

  • Develop scenarios for testing the solution, focusing on safety, navigation, and operational efficiency.
  • Document the methodology for future simulation and evaluation.

4-Prototype Blueprint

  • Create a detailed design blueprint for a functional autonomous prototype.
  • Specify components, including sensors, actuators, and remote operation tools.

5-Cost Analysis and Recommendations

  • Conduct a cost-benefit analysis of various configurations for sensors and systems.
  • Deliver a report with recommendations for the most cost-effective solutions.

6-Final Project Report and Presentation

  • Compile all research, designs, and analyses into a comprehensive report.
  • Prepare a concise presentation summarizing key findings, deliverables, and next steps for stakeholders.

At Telebotics, we're on a mission to transform urban logistics through autonomous technology that addresses the industry's most pressing challenges.

THE PROBLEM
The final mile of delivery represents over 50% of total logistics costs, while driver shortages and urban congestion continue to worsen. Meanwhile, emissions regulations are pushing companies toward sustainable solutions.

OUR SOLUTION
We equip existing electric vehicles with modular autonomy kits that scale from remote assistance to full autonomy, enabling businesses to adapt at their own pace while dramatically reducing delivery costs and environmental impact.

OUR VISION
A future where autonomous delivery vehicles seamlessly navigate urban environments, making cities more livable, commerce more efficient, and transportation more sustainable.
