Abstract
Fulfilment centres for e-grocery services are facing a labour shortage in a time of expansion. This project aims to develop a drone-based solution for picking products in an e-grocery fulfilment centre. The project focuses on the design of hardware specific to the operating conditions, as well as algorithms to automate the system’s operation. This Final Report provides an overview of the detail design of selected subsystems, and the conceptual and preliminary design of other subsystems. The feasibility of the project is also analysed, and a plan for continued development in the future is included.
