Food Serving Robot Using Machine Learning and IoT

With the Internet of Things (IoT) gradually evolving as the subsequent phase of the evolution of the Internet, it becomes crucial to recognize the various potential domains for application of IoT, and the research challenges that are associated with these applications. Ranging from smart cities to health care, smart agriculture, logistics and retail, to even smart living and smart environments, IoT is expected to infiltrate into virtually all aspects of daily life. This study features the multidimensional tasking of hotel industry with the growth of IT enabled services. Hotel industry in current scenario is highly relying on computerized system for most of its operations and management reports. To remain competitive, it is very much essential to achieve high guest satisfaction. As the era of industrial revolution 4.0 is coming, most of robots are developed to replace the human works and services. However, in Vietnam, putting robots in service industry such as waiter robot serving in restaurants is still very limited. This study presents the initial development of restaurant serving robot using line following approach. Robots are programmed to come to a specific table by mapping data. Based on the image recognition algorithm implemented on microcontroller.
