Humanoid robots have been assisting humankind in various capacities. They have been broadly used in the field of Healthcare, Education, and Entertainment. A humanoid robot is a robot that not only resembles the human’s physical attributes, especially one head, a torso, and two arms, but also can communicate with humans, take orders from its user, and perform limited activities. Most humanoid robots are equipped with sensors, actuators, cameras, and speakers. These robots are typically preprogrammed for specific actions or have the flexibility to be programmed according to the user requirement. Generally, humanoid robots are designed according to their intended application.

Lucy 2.0(Future is Served)

So here we go with the cooking and cleaning service humanoid robots for hotels and restaurants.

It can also be used for domestic purposes as one of the home appliances. to reduce the workload of the humans

So here we have 2 types of user

  1. Customers ( Used inside the restaurant)
  2. Manager/Staffs ( To setup and manage )

So for both types of users, we have designed two different interfaces.

  1. Customers will have a tablet on the table to choose their cuisines/Dishes available. and they can see the reviews and preparation time for that dish.once they have selected any dish and continue with cook now option the request will be sent to the staff or mangers application. so as per the priority and availability of humanoid robots they will start assigning to them.

Staffs and Managers

So here you can see the application for staff and managers to manage and assign a task to the robots and monitoring the performance as well.

Here we have 3 types of robots available

  • Cooking
  • Serving
  • Cleaning
  1. On the dashboard, you can see the task assigned, performance and monitoring the power available of each robot
  2. Customers will select their dishes and they will send the request here.so we can see requests on the top header.
  3. In the request section, we can see all the orders given by customers. According to the priority and availability of robots, staff can assign the tasks.
  4. Once the cooking has completed staff assign task for serving as well
  5. while performing the task if any issues come up it will notify the staff in realtime.
