DEVELOPMENT OF SERVING ROBOT

Abstract

The food service industry is increasingly adopting robotic solutions to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance hygiene. This paper presents Auto Serve, a non-autonomous, RF-controlled food-serving robot designed using Arduino Uno, servo motors, DC motors, and BTS motor drivers. The system is operated via a **2.4 GHz RF remote control, allowing for precise manual navigation and food delivery in restaurants and cafeterias.
Auto Serve features a *gripper mechanism* (controlled by servo motors) for picking and placing food items, while DC motors with BTS drivers enable smooth movement. The *2.4 GHz RF transmitter-receiver pair* ensures reliable wireless control within a practical range, making the robot suitable for indoor environments.
This project demonstrates a low-cost, easy-to-implement robotic solution for food service automation, reducing dependency on autonomous navigation systems while maintaining flexibility and control.
