About Rotating Table Iessliwwerungsroboter

De Rotating Table ass en Iessliwwerungsroboter, deen fir Restauranten entworf gouf. Vill Serviceroboteren benotze fest montéiert Platen op méi Etagen, sou datt d'Personal sech bécke muss oder an d'Knéien goe muss, fir Telleren ofzestellen an ofzehuelen. De Rotating Table benotzt dréibar Platen an huet zwee Aarbechtszoustänn, een fir den Transport an een fir de Service beim Arrivée. Zwee Sätz vu Rullen dréinen déi iewescht an déi ënnescht Plat zesummen, wärend déi mëttler Plat stabil bleift, sou datt d'Iessen ëmmer waagerecht bleift. En Touchscreen steiert d'Liwwerung, d'Dréien, d'Musek, d'Opnam an d'Informatiounen. Ambientbeliichtung an eng sëlwer Finitioun kompletéieren den Design.

Unique Properties: Rotating table is an efficient dining robot. Currently, most of dining robots use multi-layer fixed dinner plates, which leads to the need for waiters to repeatedly bend over to take food and even squat down when storing and taking it. Over time, waiters can be very uncomfortable.
The Rotating table dining robot can provide users with a faster, more efficient, and elegant dining experience. It can be served as soon as it is delivered, and delicious without waiting.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1000mm×600mm×960mm
Tags: Meal delivery robot, service robot, intelligent robot
Production Technology: The working principle of the entire rotating table dining robot is based on the design of a rotatable dinner plate. It has two different working states to meet different functional scenario requirements.

The main color of the complete machine is silver, with a highly technical texture. The whole machine is designed with flexible atmosphere lights in many places, making the entire dining environment more elegant. The organic texture on the dining plate makes the entire machine look more exquisite.
Design Challenge: It is very difficult for Rotating table dining robot to achieve synchronous flipping of the meal plate without causing the food to tilt. Finally, two sets of pulleys were used to control the upper and lower plates, and the middle plate was always kept stable,. One group controls the rotation angle of the upper and lower plates to be consistent, while the other group controls the uniform rotation of the entire plate surface.
Research: Conduct on-site interviews and video recordings of restaurants currently using service robots, analyze the problems users encounter in using service robots, and find a starting point for this design.

When using a dining robot, waiters need to frequently bend over to pick up plates on different layers, which requires some time. Guests also need to wait for a certain amount of time to serve when the dining robot arrives. Therefore, I hope to design a dining robot that can facilitate waiters to quickly pick up meals while reducing customer waiting.
Inspiration: Most dining robots have fixed plates, which makes it difficult to pick up food and requires the waiter to bend over, which is very inelegant. Therefore, I want to design a dining robot that can make picking up food more convenient and elegant.

There are many classic folding structures in traditional furniture tables and chairs, and the Rotating table is a design of dining robot based on some of them.
Project Duration: The project started in Shanghai in June 2021 and was completed in March 2023. Currently, it has not been officially exhibited.
Operation Flow: The Rotating table dining robot mainly controls products through a touch screen, including delivery, flipping, playing music, recording, and information. In the transportation state, the screen will display cute smiling faces.

The dining robot is mainly divided into two working states, one is during the transportation process, and the other is when it arrives at the destination and is in a flipped state.
