Project Background

The Mission:

This project is to develop a robotic assistant that can serve food to the disabled. 3D modeling and printing the external components of this robot will be utilized to develop ESP32 microcontroller along with a variety of sensors, including, but not limited to: infrared, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and ultrasonic will be used. These components will be programmed to allow the robot to act autonomously. 

 

The project is composed of two main parts: the modified mini fridge and the mobile robot. The modified mini fridge will respond to the input for a selected meal and will release the meal container for the mobile robot to retrieve. The mobile robot will retrieve the food from the mini fridge and then deliver the meal first to the microwave (located on top of the mini fridge), then to the table.
