Abstract

With magnetic trail and infrared matching techniques, limitation in paths and high processing create difficulties in restaurant serving techniques. This article provides a user-friendly serving system by adopting real-time image processing and robot guidance application. SLAM (A technology used by Japan for simultaneously localizing and mapping) can overcome the above-mentioned difficulties but is much costly and has slow processing. To overcome SLAM drawbacks, all map localization processing has been shifted on a server processor which made RSR (Restaurant Serving Robot) less costly than other techniques. RSR is fully equipped by modern innovations in AI (Artificial Intelligence). Map localization in server knows about the little movement in restaurant hall and decides appropriate path for a robot. A restaurant serving robot is a real-time path deciding robot which is designed using simulation software, camera, a database for predefined paths, an android application, a WLAN communication system, and a robot based on Arduino. Simulation software gets real time frames from the camera, declares appropriate path, and keep an eye on serving robots.
