School autonomous scrubber experts with Navia Robotics today: Bussing dirty dishes is quite the demanding task, requiring physical strength and stamina to get through a whole shift. Many workers we interviewed noted the amount of energy required to get through the day bussing tables and how dirty the task is with liquids sloshing about in the tubs while being transported to the dishwashing area in the back. It’s arduous and strenuous, certainly a task nobody can say they particularly enjoy doing. The premise behind the development of the HolaBot was to make life easier for those in this line of work.

Multi-robot Coordination and Cooperation: KettyBot can coordinate operations with additional units within the same network to operate quickly and efficiently. The robots can coordinate their movements to avoid interrupting each other. KettyBot provides voice alerts and on screen notifications when the battery level gets too low and automatically returns to the docking station to recharge. No need to worry about manually charging the robot, KettyBot takes care of that on its own!
PuduBot is our restaurant workhorse, with large expansive space, high clearance between trays, clean design along with dual visual and LIDAR navigation, it does everything you need from an intelligent service robot bar-none. LIDAR Positioning: No height restriction but requires stationary objects for mapping. Visual Positioning : Using over-head markers – maximum height of 25 feet. Body/Chassis Material : ABS / Aerospace grade aluminum alloy.
BellaBot comes with four large trays that can each accommodate two typical dinner plates, or one large specialty plate. With a capacity of 22.5lbs per tray, one trip with BellaBot can carry loads that would take 2 to 4 workers to carry over, how’s that for efficiency? All the while, it can deliver them carefully with the advanced built-in wheel suspension that allows it to glide over small bumps and cracks on the floor. BellaBot features the most advanced sensor package on the market today, with several optical infrared cameras, four IR illuminators, a LIDAR sensor and bump sensors to avoid obstacles and ensure it never gets lost unlike the majority of other robots out there. There are even four motion sensors on each of the four trays to determine if the food on a given tray has been emptied…it is intelligent enough to go to the next table when the tray is emptied without any human interaction.
Navia Robotics spends considerable time and money investing in research and development for core positioning and navigation technologies for our robotic systems. We partner with top technology companies around the world to develop accurate positioning systems and sensors and have expertise in both LIDAR and visual imaging systems and utilize our own advanced algorithms for simultaneous localization and mapping. Our latest BellaBot is the first in the service robot industry to utilize both LIDAR and visual SLAM systems for accurate positioning and repeatability, one of the most important aspects of a service robot’s capabilities.
For large carrying capacity, look no further, HolaBot is at your service. With intelligent paging and voice control function, HolaBot is designed to boost efficiency and productivity in restaurants, hospitals, warehouses and factories. HolaBot has a 132lb carrying capacity with a maximum volume of nearly 40 gallons. 4 large capacity trays allow you to stow away large amounts of dishes, products or any other goods from one point to the next, with contactless voice activated cues to turn the robot around for loading and unloading. The trays can also be detached for larger, taller items.
For most operations, battery life is sufficient to last throughout the day, but for 24/7 high volume operations, it’s possible to swap the battery to keep the BellaBot running non-stop. 3 x RGBD depth cameras provide BellaBot with better three-dimensional visual perception than ever before. It can accurately detect obstacles and come to a stop with a response time as short as half a second.Bellabot sensors: Independent Linkage Suspension. Auto-leveling adaptive variable suspension system is built-in to the wheel assembly to dampen the robot from sudden braking and vibration. Damping levels can be adjusted according to different floor compositions and speed requirements. Find extra info at naviarobotics.com.
In addition, voice recordings were made to introduce the guests and to remind them to take table settings and menus from the robot once arriving at their tables. If patrons needed another set of tableware or napkins, or even a menu for a late arrival, the KettyBot could easily be dispatched to service the particular table quickly. Of course, some things to take into consideration are the operational characteristics of the restaurant, so this may or may not be the ideal use case for you. However, for the vast majority of fast and casual dining establishments, owners have commented how much of a time savings it was to utilize the KettyBot in such fashion. Customer service and satisfaction metrics went up, and patrons enjoyed the novelty aspect of watching service robots go around, generating even more buzz and essentially free social media marketing.
