Serving robots solutions from Navia Robotics Bellabot right now: BellaBot comes with four large trays that can each accommodate two typical dinner plates, or one large specialty plate. With a capacity of 22.5lbs per tray, one trip with BellaBot can carry loads that would take 2 to 4 workers to carry over, how’s that for efficiency? All the while, it can deliver them carefully with the advanced built-in wheel suspension that allows it to glide over small bumps and cracks on the floor. BellaBot features the most advanced sensor package on the market today, with several optical infrared cameras, four IR illuminators, a LIDAR sensor and bump sensors to avoid obstacles and ensure it never gets lost unlike the majority of other robots out there. There are even four motion sensors on each of the four trays to determine if the food on a given tray has been emptied…it is intelligent enough to go to the next table when the tray is emptied without any human interaction.

The process of dispatching HolaBot was well thought out as well, with the included Smart Watch that can call the robot over to the table that needs to be cleared out. Bussers can simply head over to the table with empty bussing tubs, call the robot over with the Smart Watch and fill the bussing tubs while the robot makes it way over to the table. Once the robot arrives, calling out “Hola Hola” will have the robot turn around for easy loading of the bussing trays. Simply gesture your hand across the top of the robot and the robot will make its way to the dishwashing station without requiring any contact, keeping the robot touch screen clear of smudging from dirty hands.
Navia Robotics spends considerable time and money investing in research and development for core positioning and navigation technologies for our robotic systems. We partner with top technology companies around the world to develop accurate positioning systems and sensors and have expertise in both LIDAR and visual imaging systems and utilize our own advanced algorithms for simultaneous localization and mapping. Our latest BellaBot is the first in the service robot industry to utilize both LIDAR and visual SLAM systems for accurate positioning and repeatability, one of the most important aspects of a service robot’s capabilities.
Multi-robot Coordination and Cooperation: KettyBot can coordinate operations with additional units within the same network to operate quickly and efficiently. The robots can coordinate their movements to avoid interrupting each other. KettyBot provides voice alerts and on screen notifications when the battery level gets too low and automatically returns to the docking station to recharge. No need to worry about manually charging the robot, KettyBot takes care of that on its own!
PuduBot is our restaurant workhorse, with large expansive space, high clearance between trays, clean design along with dual visual and LIDAR navigation, it does everything you need from an intelligent service robot bar-none. LIDAR Positioning: No height restriction but requires stationary objects for mapping. Visual Positioning : Using over-head markers – maximum height of 25 feet. Body/Chassis Material : ABS / Aerospace grade aluminum alloy.
IPX5 Waterproof Cabin: The HolaBot’s cabin area is IPX5 rated to take on various liquids splashing while operating. Simply wipe it off with a damp towel for easy cleaning. Different Operating Scenarios: The HolaBot can be used in various different environments, such as restaurants and hospitals as shown below. Other novel uses include banks, pharmacies, factories, warehouses and order fulfillment centers, auto/truck repair facilities among others.
For most operations, battery life is sufficient to last throughout the day, but for 24/7 high volume operations, it’s possible to swap the battery to keep the BellaBot running non-stop. 3 x RGBD depth cameras provide BellaBot with better three-dimensional visual perception than ever before. It can accurately detect obstacles and come to a stop with a response time as short as half a second.Bellabot sensors: Independent Linkage Suspension. Auto-leveling adaptive variable suspension system is built-in to the wheel assembly to dampen the robot from sudden braking and vibration. Damping levels can be adjusted according to different floor compositions and speed requirements. Read extra info at https://www.naviarobotics.com/.
In addition, voice recordings were made to introduce the guests and to remind them to take table settings and menus from the robot once arriving at their tables. If patrons needed another set of tableware or napkins, or even a menu for a late arrival, the KettyBot could easily be dispatched to service the particular table quickly. Of course, some things to take into consideration are the operational characteristics of the restaurant, so this may or may not be the ideal use case for you. However, for the vast majority of fast and casual dining establishments, owners have commented how much of a time savings it was to utilize the KettyBot in such fashion. Customer service and satisfaction metrics went up, and patrons enjoyed the novelty aspect of watching service robots go around, generating even more buzz and essentially free social media marketing.
