DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT PROTOTYPE BASED ON ARDUINO MEGA

Abstract

The development of automation in the restaurant industry has led to the innovation of a waiter robot based on Arduino Mega 2560. This robot is designed to simplify food delivery to customers by integrating technology with service efficiency. It is equipped with a TFT LCD screen as an interface that allows users to provide direct instructions, and ultrasonic sensors that detect obstacles to prevent collisions during operation. The navigation system applies a line follower model, enabling the robot to move automatically along predefined paths. The research focuses on the design and implementation of the prototype, highlighting its functionality in ensuring safe and accurate food delivery. The results indicate that the system performs effectively in real-time restaurant service conditions. This innovation demonstrates the potential of robotic applications in enhancing service quality, reducing human workload, and contributing to the advancement of automated service solutions.
