JAKARTA - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is focusing on developing DELL-E as an autonomous delivery robot. This robot is designed as a logistics service in an environment with limited access.
DELL-E is designed to overcome the last-mile delivery or last-mile delivery constraints in areas such as gated communities, offices, to industrial areas. Generally, couriers can only deliver packages to a certain handover point in these areas.
With these limitations, DELL-E was developed so that the recipient does not have to walk to pick up goods at a location far from the door or house. Instead, the security guard also does not have to leave their post just to deliver goods.
DELL-E uses a navigation system that combines LiDAR, IMU, and GPS sensors to move autonomously. The technology supports accurate route mapping and avoids obstacles on its path.
"DELL-E was developed to increase the efficiency of logistics services, reduce human workload, maintain consistency in delivery time, and minimize the risk of errors," said PRMC BRIN researcher Roni Permana Saputra, quoted on Thursday, February 5.
The security of the goods inside the robot cabin will be guaranteed through a special authentication system based on QR Code scanning. With this mechanism, only the authorized recipient can unlock and pick up the package delivered by the robot.
Users can monitor the delivery status directly through a server-based application connected to an internet connection. The robot's work process starts from ordering via the application to determining the automatic route to the destination location that has been set.
DELL-E has undergone a pilot test in Bandung with a scenario of delivering goods from a laboratory to a security post. Test results show stable navigation performance, but BRIN still needs to refine its system.
