An affordable robotic meal serving system that is scalable, mass-manufacturable, and can carry an efficient load.
The robot can carry up to 60 (15 kg per tray, 4 trays) of dishes. Stress analysis calculations are included in the repository.
● Lid Mechanism added to tray edges to ensure dishes do not slide off the tray while the robot is in motion
● Minimum size of serving tray on robot (top tray): 12”x16” or 30cm x 40cm.
● Includes enclosures for the motor, battery, and mechanisms used to fasten them in place.
● Assembly weight: 32.67kg
● Build Cost: $1900
● The robot is mobile and follows a modular design.
● Includes a collision detection mechanism of 6 Ultrasonic Sensors (validated within the mechanical design).
● Ease of charging and storage when not in use.
● Ease of assembly and maintenance.
● Material Selection: Polylactic Acid (PLA) - minimal to no carbon footprint.
● Creative freedom is given for the design of the robot
