Production Technology: Cola adopts imported high-strength ABS integrated compound molding process for its whole body, featuring high and low-temperature resistance, good strength and toughness, and wide adaptability in usage scenarios. The detachable mechanical structure design can reduce the number of connectors and parts, making the product easy to assemble and reducing the production cost.
Design Challenge: Abandoning the humanoid shape, a cuter waiter concept is designed. The common black-and-white uniform color matching and simple integrated design, with waisted modeling on both sides, present a more beautiful and scientific overall structure. The product is designed with a 35 degrees interactive screen that is in line with ergonomic design, and its infrared plate detection and touch sensing functions also reduce the difficulty of operation.
Research: The biggest social benefit lies in its effective solution to the pain point of employment difficulty in today's social service industry. Compared with the service staff of traditional restaurants, KTVs and hotels, Cola intelligent delivery robot has the advantages of lower monthly rent and maintenance costs, longer working hours, lower error rate and higher work efficiency.
Inspiration: Cola intelligent delivery robot is in a shape inspired by the Rook, which retains the elements of smooth cylindrical shape and tray and is equipped with a series of sensors, enabling avoidance of obstacles at any angle, contactless delivery and intelligent voice interaction, etc.
Project Duration: Duration and location of the project: the project was launched in April 2020 in Changzhou, China, ended in September 2020, and will be exhibited at the 4th China Catering Procurement Exhibition in October 2020.
Operation Flow: In the food delivery mode, the four-layer tray structure allows delivery to four tables at a time, enabling multi-point delivery and multi-tasks in parallel.
In the greeting mode, Cola can automatically sense guests 2m away and play the set welcome content by voice and screen. Its voice triggering and interactive function supports multiple rounds of Q&As.
In the cruise mode, it can automatically patrol at a fixed route and intermittently play the set voice content.
