3D printing food delivery robot at work
With its advanced 3D printing technology and Shanghai Yingjisi, a well-known intelligent robot R & D center in Shanghai, SHDM has created a highly competitive human-like food delivery robot in China. The perfect combination of 3D printers and intelligent robots also fully heralded the arrival of the “Industry 4.0″ era and “Made in China 2025″.
This food delivery service robot has practical functions such as automatic meal delivery, empty tray recovery, dish introduction, and voice broadcast. It integrates technologies such as 3D printing, mobile robots, multi-sensor information fusion and navigation, and multi-modal human-computer interaction. The realistic and vivid appearance of the robot is efficiently completed by Shanghai Digital Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It uses a DC motor to drive the two-wheel differential travel of the food truck. The design is novel and unique.
In today’s society, labor costs are extremely high, and there are large growth spaces for meal delivery robots in some alternative links, such as welcome, tea delivery, meal delivery, and ordering. Simpler links can replace or partially replace current restaurant waiters as customers Service, reduce the number of service personnel, and reduce employment costs. At the same time, it can enhance the image of the restaurant, increase the pleasure of customers to dine, achieve the eye-catching effect, form a differentiated cultural operation for the restaurant, and bring economic benefits.
