The automatic meal delivering system of the dining room has the advantages of high automation degree and rapid meal delivering speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic meal delivery system for a restaurant. Background technique [0002] In the catering industry, the most complicated work is to serve customers such as ordering and delivering food. Due to the increase in labor costs, restaurants are spending more and more on labor costs for service personnel, and the wages of ordinary waiters are comparable to those of industrial workers.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method has the following defects: 1. The track laid on the ground of the restaurant will be restricted by the dining table and other items on the restaurant floor, and it needs to bypass the planning of the dining table and other items, resulting in twists and turns of the track and affecting the speed of food delivery; 2. There will inevitably be intersections between the tracks laid in each station. When the lines are busy, there may be robots walking on each track. In order to avoid collisions at each intersection, the system will send an instruction to let one of the robots go first, and the other robots will stop. 3. The track of the laid track does not allow customers or service personnel to walk, but in fact, when people eat in a restaurant, they will inevitably walk, especially the walking of children, which will affect the walking of the robot. The pace is often forced to pause. At the same time, due to the lag of the control system, collisions between customers and walking robots also occur from time to time, and there is a certain degree of danger.
