Abstract
Nowadays, robotics technology is taking a larger role in our life. Robotics are being more involved in many aspects of our daily activities making our life easier, more comfortable and increasing its quality, efficiency and safety levels. They are being used in home automation, health services, constructions, agriculture and even to perform dangerous and accurate activities like working with dangerous chemical materials in different industries or in military operations like defusing bombs and mines. This project is about developing a robotic tray system that can be used in hospitals to serve patients, restaurants to serve tables, hotels to serve guests rooms and in many other places and applications. It consists of a robot that can deliver orders from a central point to different locations. This robot will be controlled by a mobile application that will give the user the option of controlling the robot manually or to determine a specific destination (table or room) for the robot to reach. The mobile application will communicate with a microcontroller on the robot through Bluetooth connection. The robot will follow a line that will be stuck on the floor, this line is made up of a regular tape that can be stuck or removed easily. The robot will follow this line to move forward using a line senor that uses IR connection to detect the line. When it reaches an intersection where there are two or more paths there will be an RF ID tag guiding the robot to its assigned destination where it will have an RF ID tag reader. When the robot reaches the destination, its microcontroller will turn on a buzzer on the robot to notify the customer that it arrived. When the customer takes the order, he will push a button on the robot making it go back to its central location. The robot will have the ability to detect obstacles on its path using an ultra-sonic sensor and it will turn on the buzzer when it faces one
