🌭 Autonomous Hot Dog Delivery Bot 🌭
📋 Project Overview
The Autonomous Hot Dog Delivery Bot is a sophisticated web application that simulates and optimizes delivery routes for hot dog deliveries in urban environments. Built with Python PyQt5 and Folium for interactive mapping, this system demonstrates advanced pathfinding algorithms with real-time visualization capabilities.
🎯 Key Features
🧠 Smart Path Planning: A* algorithm with multiple heuristic options
🗺️ Interactive Visualization: Real-time Folium map with animated bot traversal
⚡ Performance Analytics: Comprehensive heuristic comparison and metrics
🎛️ Customizable Controls: Adjustable animation speeds and delivery parameters
📊 Queue Management: Dynamic delivery status tracking (Waiting → In Progress → Delivered)
🎮 User Interface Features
Control Panel
Heuristic Selection: Toggle between Euclidean, Manhattan, and other distance metrics
Animation Speed: Adjust traversal visualization (Slow → Medium → Fast)
Delivery Management: Start, pause, and complete deliveries
Performance Analysis: Run heuristic comparisons in real-time
Visual Indicators
🟣 Purple Dot: Active delivery bot with progress percentage
🔴 Red Checkmarks: Successfully completed deliveries
🟢 Green Lines: Optimized delivery paths
🔵 Blue Markers: Pending delivery orders
🟠 Orange Highlights: Active deliveries in progress
📊 Performance Metrics
