  The field of autonomous robotics is growing at a rapid rate. The trend to use
increasingly more sensors in vehicles is driven both by legislation and
consumer demands for higher safety and reliable service. Nowadays, robots are
found everywhere, ranging from homes, hospitals to industries, and military
operations. Autonomous robots are developed to be robust enough to work beside
humans and to carry out jobs efficiently. Humans have a natural sense of
understanding of the physical forces acting around them like gravity, sense of
motion, etc. which are not taught explicitly but are developed naturally.
However, this is not the case with robots. To make the robot fully autonomous
and competent to work with humans, the robot must be able to perceive the
situation and devise a plan for smooth operation, considering all the
adversities that may occur while carrying out the tasks. In this thesis, we
present an autonomous mobile robot platform that delivers the package within
the VNIT campus without any human intercommunication. From an initial
user-supplied geographic target location, the system plans an optimized path
and autonomously navigates through it. The entire pipeline of an autonomous
robot working in outdoor environments is explained in detail in this thesis.
