An interactive drink serving robot

We created an autonomous, interactive drink-serving robot designed for deployment in public spaces and social events. Our system design emphasized achieving a balance between technological and social readiness levels, ensuring a technology that seamlessly integrates into real-world environments while being socially accepted.

This work was carried out in the context of the SMOOTH (Seamless huMan-robot interactiOn fOr THe support of elderly people) project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark from 2017-2021.
