About Buzzy Bot Veículo Robótico de Entrega

O comércio eletrônico moderno exige entrega rápida de mercadorias em ruas estreitas da cidade, bem como em destinos de difícil acesso. Buzzy Bot é um veículo robótico de entrega com um total de 34 gavetas automatizadas para armazenar mercadorias em diferentes temperaturas necessárias. Possui um drone de carga para transportar encomendas para locais mais distantes. Rodas com mecanismo de articulação adaptável superam facilmente obstáculos em terrenos irregulares. A rotação independente de todas as rodas permite manobras fáceis em espaços apertados. O sistema de propulsão elétrica é alimentado por baterias de estado sólido e painéis solares adicionais no teto do veículo.

Unique Properties: Buzzy Bot is medium size, autonomous delivery vehicle. Different types of goods are placed in a total of 34 separate automated storage compartments with Electronic Drawer system. It is able to service large number of clients in the shortest period of time with just one trip. There is adaptive ground distance - Clearance, to overcoming road obstacles. Solar panels on the roof are there for additional electric power supply. It has a Cargo Drone for transporting medium sized packages.
Dimensions & Packaging: Lenght 3000 mm x Width 1450 mm x Height 1850 mm. GPS autonomous navigation system. 360 degree camera vision field with automatic recognition of pedestrians, road signs and traffic lights. Lidar for automatic detection of ground terrain topology. Radar detection of other vehicles and objects with automatic braking and acceleration. Voice and remote control over vehicle by operator in control center in critical situation. The energy is stored in 270 % efficient electric Solid-State batteries.

Production Technology: The chassis is made of an alloy of light metals such as aluminum and titanium. Stainless steel is used for mechanical kinetic assemblies where high strength and resistance to shocks and moisture are required. External formwork and smaller parts are made from thermoformed and injection-molded plastics. Darkened - transparent doors of compartment are made of polycarbonate with implemented transparent Oled (Organic Led) displays.
Design Challenge: The task of analyzing and positioning all the necessary electromechanical assemblies of the vehicle with the desired aesthetics, into a very complex functional unit that moves on the roads. By combining the organic soft shapes of the main body with the geometrized structure of joint-mechanisms, large wheels and batteries, a specific futuristic design was obtained. The vehicle's primary communication with the client required the design of a completely new audio and visual intelligible interface.
Research: In the last ten years, statistical research in the fields of trade and sales has shown that online shopping, ordering of various types of goods and their delivery is constantly increasing, more than 10 % annually.
The biggest problem with current small delivery robots on the market is one or few deliveries per one ride. After one delivery, the robot must return to the base to receive the next package. In that way, a lot of time is lost between two clients. A large fleet of robots is necessary.
Inspiration: The volumes, lines and colors of Honey Bee are the inspiration for the organic shape of the main robot body. The hexagonal shape of the storage compartments is inspired by the natural geometric shape of Honeycomb. It is main functional and aesthetic light-motive. Construction of the horse-drawn Carriages was the inspiration for the symmetrical architecture of the vehicle. For better visibility in night conditions, Led emitting strips have been installed in the aluminum rims and 4 arc blinkers.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 and finished in January 2023 in Belgrade, Serbia.
Operation Flow: The system of independent rotation of all four wheels by 90 degrees, allows efficient and fast maneuvering and parking in confined areas. Vehicle can move in all 4 directions. Indoor Climate Micro-System enables the transport of hot or cold food. Oled info-display on each different colored hexagonal compartment shows temperature and order Client Code. Robot has a built-in QR scanner and contactless payment credit card reader. In this way, it is possible to pay directly on the robot itself.
