Abstract: AN AI-DRIVEN AUTONOMOUS INDOOR SERVICE ROBOT WITH SENSOR FUSION AND DYNAMIC PATHFINDING FOR SMART LOGISTICS The titled invention discloses NavBot, an autonomous service robot to automate food delivery and internal logistics in busy indoor settings. The system integrates a Raspberry Pi 4 central controller (3) with a sensor fusion array consisting of ultrasonic 10 sensors (1) and infrared sensors within the real-time perception and sensor fusion module (1 0) for real-time obstacle avoid an~. Utilizing the A star pathfinding algorithm through the AI navigation and path generation module (9), the robot calculates the most efficient, shortest-path route from the kitchen to a designated table based on a digital grid map. The invention includes.a dual-interface system comprising a Foodie- 15 s App and a hardware-integrated touchscreen forming part of the user interface (UI) and visualization module (14), along with remote control (5) supported by wireless communication (7) for manual override. By automating repetitive delivery tasks through coordinated operation of the input collection and validation module (8), model integration and alignment engine (12), and sensor-to-trajectory conversion module 20 (11), NavBot reduces human labor and mean delivery times while ensuring a consistent and safe service experience via intelligent collision avoidance.
