Development of a Cost Effective Beverage and Food-Serving Robot for Hygienically Outcomes and Human Comfort

摘要

The robotics and automation in its execution have worked tremendously generating well-defined processes in the food and beverages sector, maintaining good hygiene in hospitals for serving the patients and old ages. It prevents the human touch resulting in proper hygiene. It also decreases labor dependence and increases economic benefits. Based on this fact, a serving robot was developed for food, medicines and other goods, especially beverages from one place to another. Developed robot was a self-guided programmed machine, a programming based robot where all the commands were managed by the main controller ATmega328. In this process, IR sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and encoders transmit input signals to the main controller and output signals were received by the liquid pump, led, gear motors to perform different functions. All steps of the robot were been displayed on the LED (Light Emitting Diodescreen), which was connected to the perfect position to make it capable of serving more effectively and attractively. The existing robot can also be developed to make it multipurpose and can be used at large scale by increasing the size and capacity.
