Advances in Autonomous Delivery Vehicle
Autonomous Delivery Vehicle are autonomous, typically electric-powered, robots or cars designed to transport goods like food, groceries, and prescriptions from businesses to consumers, often using AI, GPS, and sensors for navigation. Companies like Nuro and Starship are deploying these vehicles in pilot programs across various cities, using features like customer security codes for compartment access and data to enhance safety and efficiency in the "last-mile" logistics process.
In the present book, ten typical literatures about Autonomous Delivery Vehicle on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Autonomous Delivery Vehicle. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Autonomous Delivery Vehicle as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
