[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to robotic systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a robotic system for delivering multiple categories of products on multiple floors.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The information in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art(s) for the present disclosure.
[0003] Travel time for the delivery of food, supplies, documents, and parcels within various areas of buildings or complexes has become a significant issue, consuming millions of hours and contributing to billions of dollars in costs annually. This problem is particularly prevalent in industries where the timely delivery of goods and services is crucial for smooth operations. For example, in hotels, a considerable amount of time is spent by housekeeping staff and food and beverage (F&B) personnel traveling to deliver supplies, linens, food orders, and other necessary items. Additionally, this labour shortage and inefficiency in operations contribute to a decline in service quality, creating negative experiences for those depending on the timely delivery of goods and services, whether in the form of food, medical care, or other essential items.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, it is advantageous to provide an improved device that can overcome the above-mentioned problems and limitations associated with the delivery systems.
[0005] The drawbacks/difficulties/disadvantages/limitations of the conventional techniques explained in the background section are just for exemplary purposes and the disclosure would never limit its scope only such limitations. A person skilled in the art would understand that this disclosure and below mentioned description may also solve other problems or overcome the other drawbacks/disadvantages of the conventional arts which are not explicitly captured above.

[0062] The application and working of the robot system 100 is now explained. The robot system 100, having both the mobile unit 300 and the storage unit 200, is configured to carry out the predefined action or task. To begin the process, the solenoid lock 302 is activated electrically, which causes the unlocking of the mobile module 300 with any of the storage module 200. As a result, the mobile unit 300 is now free to slide out independently, without any restrictions from the storage module 200.
[0063] When the mobile unit 300 is re-engaged with the predetermined storage module 200, the solenoid lock 302 locks both the mobile unit 300 and the storage module 200. At this point, the solenoid lock 302 sends a signal to solenoid lock 252 of the fixed rails 250. The signal triggers the unlocking of the storage module 200 from the fixed rails 250 and allows the storage module 200 to release from the position. As the storage module 200 is unlocked, the engaged storage module 200 with the mobile unit 300 is able to move out and perform the designated task or action.
[0064] Once the task is completed, the engaged storage module 200 returns to its original fixed rails 250. Upon arrival, the storage module 200 realigns with the wall-mounted fixed rail 250 to ensure proper docking. Once aligned, the solenoid lock 252 of the fixed rail 250 locks the storage module 200 with the fixed rail 250. The locking of the storage module 200 with the fixed rail 250 prompts the solenoid lock 302 of the mobile unit 300 and unlocks the storage module 200 with the mobile unit 300. At this point, the mobile unit 300 is again free from the storage module 200, making the mobile unit 300 ready to take on its next task. The process repeats itself, with the robot system 100 continuously cycling through the predefined instruction.
[0065] The advantages of the robot system 100 are now explained. The robot system 100 facilitates reduction the of travel time and increased efficiency of product delivery. The robot system 100 can significantly reduce the time spent by staff moving items between departments or locations within a building. The robot system 100 may operate autonomously, delivering supplies, food, medical equipment, and documents faster and more efficiently than human staff, thus freeing up personnel to focus on tasks that require human intervention or expertise.
[0066] In addition, the robot system 100 saves a significant cost by reducing the need for human labour to transport goods and materials, the robot systems can lower labour costs, which are often a significant portion of operational expenses in industries like hospitality and healthcare. Also, the labour efficiency is improved by the robot system 100, as the robot system 100 handles repetitive tasks like transporting supplies, the human workforce can be allocated to more valuable and high-skill tasks.
[0067] The robot system 100 improves service delivery and customer satisfaction. The robot system 100 is adapted to operate continuously without the limitations of human fatigue, ensuring consistent and timely delivery of items and services. This can enhance the overall customer experience in both hotels and hospitals, leading to higher levels of satisfaction.
[0068] In addition, the robot system 100 may be easily scaled to accommodate growing needs. As the size of a hotel or hospital increases or as the demand for services grows, the robot systems 100 can be expanded to handle additional tasks or to cover more areas, ensuring continued efficiency even in larger operations. Also, the robot system 100 may reduce human errors associated with delivering items, such as incorrect deliveries or lost packages. This is particularly important in hospitals where precise deliveries of medical supplies and equipment are critical to patient care.
