Multi Purpose Delivery Robot

Project Title

Multi Purpose Delivery Robot

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

The robotic technology takes the place of manual work. In manual cafe systems, one can witness a lot of problems. The robot waiter is an innovation and this concept can be used for restaurant automation in various fast food chains, then in Hospitals, or in Offices when you have a COVID like situation.

Then comes the Accuracy or its precise location when you are specially using it indoor. Accuracy of the robot is one of the basic features of navigation. Car and bicycle navigation Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used. The biggest problem is the accuracy of the measure. But many car navigation systems use GPS for odometry integration. GPS accuracy can be improved using additional techniques, such as DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System), RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) and others.

 So, in this project, we will use collision avoidance and DGPS for the delivery of items or products in Restaurants (will act as a robotic waiter) in Hospitals (especially when we have a COVID like situation or in ICU wards) on Construction site or in Offices which will be more accurate as compared to GPS.

Simply when you are at a place (Hospital, Restaurants, office) and you need a thing you will order your need just by opening a mobile application and that robot will locate your exact location then takes the order from the main point and will reach to your exact location by avoiding all the obstacles on his way and after delivering you it will make its way again to its main point

Project Objectives

Main objectives of the projects are we should have a machine which would be

1. Fully automatic Robotic Machine which will be used for delivering of various items mainly in Hospitals (ICU wards or during COVID like situation or similar pandemic when human touch becomes so difficult or it’s being avoided), Restaurants (robotic waiter), construction site, industries warehouses etc.
2. It would be DGPS (differential global positioning system) based for more accuracy.
3. It should be capable of taking various degrees of turns in case of obstacles.
4. It must be insensitive to environmental factors such as lighting and noise.
5. Design a Mobile App.
6. Fast, efficient and less time Consumable.
7. Reduced waiting time.
8. Good quality service.

Project Implementation Method

Our project is basically divided into two parts, hardware and software implementation. In a hardware implementation, we do a physical instrument and connectivity of different electrical and electronic components in mean that they work together. In software implementation we did through a computer, this means that we do different part of our project through software. And after software implementation, we implement into hardware

The project consists of two elements: 

• Software
• Hardware

Software implementation

There are multiple aspects to the software design of this project. 

• Proteus for designing of PCBs and Simulation.
• Arduino Software for programming.
• Mobile Application.

Proteus

It is a software suite containing schematic, simulation as well as PCB designing. The software is used mainly by electronic design engineers and technicians to create schematics and electronic prints for manufacturing printed circuit boards.

Arduino

Arduino is a common term for a software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures computer open-source hardware, open-source software, and microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control physical devices.

Mobile application

Application (for restaurants, Hospitals, and Offices) can be designed by using the app inventor website. This website is very simple for designing the mobile App. The Mobile app is designed by dragging and dropping functions.

Hardware implementation

• Mechanical structure
• Electronic circuit

Mechanical Structure:

In the mechanical structure, we will design the outer look or main body of the robot

Electronic Structure:

In Electronic structure, we will use

• Vero boards
• LCD interfacing
• Amplifier Interfacing
• Sensors
• Motors
• Battery
• DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System)

We just need to connect all these things together then mainly the DGPS will be used for the localization and when a robot will make its way to its target or location being traced sensors will sense the hurdles and it will generate signals to the motors for taking different angles.

The 20×4 liquid crystal display contains four horizontal lines and they are used for compressing the space of 20 display characters

Benefits of the Project

Major benefit will be its accuracy indoor else this project has a lot of benefits when you have a COVID-19 like situation when you avoid human touch else it will be beneficial for Hospitals, Restaurants, Construction sites, warehouses and in Offices because once its implemented a lot of human effort will be reduced everything will be available just on order button. Because it will be

• Highly accurate
• Efficient
• Cost saving/increasing profit
• The ability to avoid having to use paid workers for repetitive tasks.
• Your workforce completing more projects in shorter timeframes.
• Streamlined operations that lead to better asset management.
• Reduced expenses from worksite accidents.

• Improved quality assurance

Hospitals:

When you have to order or deliver some medicines or instruments to different wards you can simply implement this project especially in ICU wards which is highly sensitive place. You can take this work from robot.

Restaurants:

Many restaurants which have good quality and standard sometimes lose its charismatic reputation and business status because of certain facts. Facts such as time maintained quality service, human errors during service i.e. serving an order to the wrong table, due to lack of systematic approach. This is very much visible in restaurant peak hours. This happens due to lack of employers during the time when endless customers are storming into the restaurant. The employers become unable to manage the proper service which is necessary to be provided. This consumes a lot of time and hence generates intense service lag which results in disappointment. This provoked us to find an automated solution to this particular problem.

Ware houses:

In ware houses when you have to deliver different things to different points a more accurate robot will be required which would be more precise to its location to carry different things.

Offices:

Suppose you have are sitting in your offices suddenly you need some paper or similar sort of thing and it’s out of stock instead of calling some person or going by yourself you would have a robot for bringing that thing.

Construction Site/industries:

This robot can be used on construction site and in industries where you want to reduce your human force and to increase your productivety.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

we will have a robot or machine which would be fully automatic in its

• accuracy
• location
• collision avoidance and
• its mobile application functions.

suppose we implement it in a Restaurant and we have to deliver food on one of table. customer will simply open its mobile application will go to the menu bar for selection of order then he will place the order and on the other end kitchen  side will get the order and will place it on the robot. robot will take the food to the exact location by avoiding all the collision and will deliver the food and will also collect bill from the customer then it will reach back to its main locatin or point.

similarly we can implement it in Hospitals and other places.
