  Abstract

Recently, as the size of the delivery service market increases, the pace of the logistics automation technology is accelerating. Among others, the last step in a product's journey to customer doorstep called Last Mile Delivery has gained much attention, and thus, research and development is actively underway to enhance the efficiency of last mile delivery. This paper implements the mobile robot-based last mile delivery automation system using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) and deep learning. The proposed system extracts the text that contains the receiver’s address and delivery destination from the invoice using deep learning vision based OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and then delivers a package to the receiver’s front door by self driving using SLAM. Additionally, we have developed an Android application to improve the courier’s usability. By experiment we have verified that the automated robot can accurately deliver a package to the receiver’s front door while coping with obstacles dynamically during self driving. In other words, the proposed system can effectively automate last mile delivery that depends on manpower.
