Design and Development of an Efficient Food Delivery Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) for restaurants with Cloud-based Data Management

An autonomous, navigating ROV will move the food within the restaurant environment by avoiding obstacles to ensure that all the orders are delivered on time and in a safe manner. When necessary, it can be operated remotely allowing for agility in dynamic environments. Use of Robotics & Cloud Computing in Food Service Industry allows for improving operational efficiency, and revenue enhancement with better customer satisfaction. In this paper, we present the architecture and implementation of a online food ordering system with Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) for automatic food delivery inside restaurants. Essentially, it provides an integrated online ordering system for end users to place orders from restaurants or food outlets using the web-based application.
