Abstract

The future of logistics is undergoing a transformative shift with the advent of autonomous delivery systems, prominently featuring drones and robots. These technologies are revolutionizing traditional logistics by offering unprecedented levels of efficiency, speed, and precision. Drones excel in last-mile delivery, navigating directly to locations and bypassing road traffic, thus significantly reducing delivery times and operational costs. Meanwhile, robots are enhancing warehouse operations and urban deliveries by automating tasks, reducing human error, and improving productivity. However, the integration of these autonomous systems faces challenges such as regulatory compliance, infrastructure development, and public acceptance. Technological advancements in AI, machine learning, and battery technology are pivotal in overcoming these obstacles, driving the future potential of autonomous delivery systems. The evolution of hybrid models, combining autonomous and traditional logistics methods, promises a more flexible and efficient logistics framework, optimizing performance and expanding capabilities. This integration marks a revolutionary change in logistics, setting the stage for a new era of innovation and efficiency in supply chain management. This paper covers some introduction of Autonomous Delivery Systems along with authors reviews as presented in literature section. This research shows various kind of aspects of Autonomous Delivery Systems as Drones and Robots.
