WAITRON

Abstract

The design and implementation of a waiter robot for usage in restaurants are examined in this thesis. The goal is to create a robot that is affordable, dependable, and efficient that can help with food and drink delivery to clients, lessening the workload of human waiters, and enhancing the overall dining experience. The thesis examines current robotics-related solutions and points out each one's shortcomings. A new design for a waiter robot is suggested based on this study, and it incorporates attributes like autonomous navigation, object detection and tracking, and a large carrying capacity. The robot is outfitted with sensors to prevent collisions and guarantee safe operation. It is meant to work in a range of restaurant scenarios. The proposed design is implemented and tested in a real-world restaurant setting, and the results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the robot in assisting servers with food and drink delivery. The thesis concludes by discussing the potential implications of waiter robots on the restaurant industry and the future direction of research in this area.
