Project Introduction

In various industries, the internal logistics of item delivery can disrupt operational efficiency and guest satisfaction. Our project addresses this challenge by introducing an automated delivery solution. Primarily targeting hotels, where the demand for food and comfort item deliveries can lead to delays and guest dissatisfaction, our RAPID (Robotic Automated Platform for Item Delivery) system aims to streamline and enhance the delivery process. Designed for robustness, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and consistent performance, the RAPID system seamlessly integrates into diverse workplace environments, allowing employees to focus on more critical tasks while the robot handles deliveries. Employing computer vision, LiDAR, and GPS for navigation, the robot learns and adapts to its surroundings, ensuring efficient and obstacle-free delivery. With ample storage capacity, RFID verification, and automated recharging, the RAPID system promises to revolutionize item delivery within facilities, improving overall productivity and customer experiences.
