Artificially Unified Reception Assistant Using Raspberry PI

Humanoid robots are becoming increasingly popular in campuses and the hospitality industry due to their ability to interact naturally with people and perform automated tasks. A humanoid robot on campus welcomes visitors with gestures like ‘Namaste’ and provides essential information, showcasing advances in robotics education and development since the department of automation and robotics was established in 2009. In hospitality, robots and AI-based chatbots improve customer service by offering 24/7 assistance, speeding up processes like check-in, and reducing human workload. To create a cost-effective solution, a Raspberry Pi–based humanoid robot is being developed with dual-hand motion, autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and voice interaction. Ongoing work focuses on adding learning capabilities and coordinating vision with hand movements. Research in humanoid robotics continues to grow because these robots must navigate human environments safely, adapt to user behaviour, and balance like humans, making them valuable for personal and assistive applications while also helping scientists understand human-like information processing.
