Abstract

This Bluetooth Controlled Food Delivery Waiter Robot can be used in restaurants to deliver the foods that are ordered by the customers. It can also carry dirty dishes, in which the food was served and carried back to the kitchen. This robot can reduce human dependency and the workload in restaurant dinings. This robot is a Short-range Wireless Communication Technology based human controlled machine. It indentures depending on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio waves (2.402 GHz to 2.48 GHz). In this trial, the Bluetooth Controlled Food Delivery Waiter Robot's Software Orientation is oriented with an Android Operating System (OS) platform with the hardware orientation of motors. This machine starts moving after a signal request is taken from the Bluetooth Android Programmed Interface (API). This distinct function is composed with Arduino UNO R3 Microcontroller, Direct Current (DC) Motors, L293D Motor Driving Shield and HC-06 Bluetooth Module. When a customer places the order, an employee (controller) will drive the robot with food to the customer's table or after finishing the meal, the machine will take back the dirty dishes from the table to the dishwashing corner in the kitchen. Throughout this experiment, the design of hardware and software orientation has been narrated explicitly. This idea can also be used for carrying and delivering such heavy loads easily without human turbidity.
