1. The Application: A Customized Robot for Food Delivery
Food delivery in restaurants, banquet halls and commercial venues involves more than transporting meals from one location to another. Robots operating in these environments need to navigate indoor spaces, carry food securely and support different service routes.
This REEMAN project brings these requirements together in a customized mobile robot. Its two-tier design provides separate transportation compartments, while the autonomous mobile chassis handles navigation between designated delivery points.
The completed robot has appeared in commercial event settings and indoor corridors. These application images show the integration of the finished structure with a mobile platform, although they do not establish specific delivery volumes or long-term operating statistics.
Rather than adopting a conventional open-tray structure, the design emphasizes enclosed transportation, distinctive appearance and flexible delivery functions.
2. Customized Two-Tier Enclosed Food Delivery Structure
One of the most recognizable features of this robot is its two vertically arranged circular compartments, each fitted with a transparent protective dome.
Unlike conventional open-tray delivery robots, the protective covers provide a physical barrier between transported items and the surrounding environment.
Contact-Reducing Food Transportation
The enclosed compartments help reduce unnecessary direct handling during transportation and limit incidental exposure of the contents to the surrounding environment.
This can help reduce potential cross-contamination risks as part of appropriate food handling procedures. The covers do not create a sterile environment or replace established hygiene practices.
Two Separate Delivery Levels
The customized vertical structure provides two separate areas for transporting food or beverages. This arrangement gives operators additional flexibility when preparing different delivery tasks.
Customized Appearance and Display Integration
The robot incorporates an upper display and a distinctive white housing. These components demonstrate how a mobile chassis can be integrated with a customer-specific exterior design and an application interface.
For similar projects, REEMAN can evaluate alternative compartment structures, exterior housings, display configurations and equipment mounting arrangements according to mechanical and electrical requirements.

4. Autonomous Indoor Navigation with Laser and Vision Technology
The mobile foundation of the robot is the REEMAN Hot Wheels Robot Chassis.
The Hot Wheels platform integrates Laser SLAM and V-SLAM navigation technologies with autonomous positioning, route planning and obstacle avoidance.
In indoor service environments, these capabilities help the robot navigate between configured destinations and respond to obstacles encountered along its route.
The underlying navigation platform enables developers to concentrate on mechanical integration, delivery software and the intended service functions instead of creating the entire mobility system from the beginning.
Hot Wheels Chassis Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | WBOT11B |
| Maximum Chassis Payload | 60 kg |
| Navigation | Laser SLAM + V-SLAM |
| Laser Detection Range | 25 m |
| Laser Scanning Angle | 270° |
| Chassis Dimensions | 450 × 450 × 317 mm |
| Battery | 25.6 V / 27 Ah |
| Chassis Battery Life | Approximately 4–6 hours |
| Development Interfaces | Open SDK and API |
Specifications refer to the Hot Wheels WBOT11B chassis. The payload available for food and the operating time of the finished delivery robot depend on the weight, electronics and configuration of the customized upper structure.
5. Single-Point and Multi-Point Food Delivery
The robot supports different delivery workflows according to the requirements of the service environment.
Single-Point Delivery
In a single-point task, staff load the food at a designated pickup location and assign a destination. The robot navigates to the selected delivery point, allowing the recipient to collect the items.
This workflow is suitable for transportation between a food preparation area and a designated service location.
Multi-Point Delivery
For multi-point tasks, the robot can follow a configured route that includes several delivery destinations.
This function allows operators to organize transportation tasks across different service areas without assigning a separate manual trip to every destination.
Destination selection, task sequencing and delivery confirmation procedures can be configured according to the application requirements.
6. Automatic Low-Battery Recharging
In addition to autonomous delivery, the completed robot supports automatic low-battery recharging.
When its battery reaches a configured threshold, the robot can return to its designated charging station.
This reduces the need for routine manual charging intervention and makes battery management more convenient during repeated service operations.
Actual endurance depends on battery configuration, payload, route conditions and the power consumption of additional components.
7. What This Project Demonstrates About REEMAN's Robot Customization Capabilities
The value of this project extends beyond the completed food delivery robot. It demonstrates how REEMAN's autonomous mobile chassis can support the development of specialized commercial robot products.
The project combines multiple engineering elements: autonomous mobility, a customized mechanical structure, application-specific delivery functions and automatic charging.
Mechanical Structure Customization
The two-tier transparent enclosure illustrates how a customer's intended application can determine the design of a robot's upper structure.
REEMAN can support the engineering evaluation of customized housings, transport compartments, equipment mounts and mechanical interfaces. Payload distribution, center of gravity, structural stability and maintenance accessibility must be considered during integration.
Autonomous Navigation Integration
The Hot Wheels chassis provides mature localization, navigation, obstacle detection and motion-control capabilities.
By adopting an existing autonomous mobile platform, developers can focus on differentiating their products through application-specific features rather than duplicating fundamental navigation development.
Customized Application Software
Different commercial robots need different task workflows. Food delivery applications require destination management, transportation tasks and appropriate user interaction.
REEMAN's open development platform supports integration with compatible application software and equipment, enabling project-specific functionality.
Open SDK and API Development
The REEMAN Hot Wheels Robot Chassis provides open SDK and API interfaces, supporting secondary development and compatible software integration.
These interfaces allow robotics developers and system integrators to evaluate how their own application systems, equipment and control functions can operate with the mobile platform.
