Specifications of the ChefBot hardware
In this section, we will discussing some of the important specifications that we mentioned in Chapter 2, Mechanical Design of a Service Robot. The final robot prototype will meet the following specifications:
Simple and cost effective robot chassis design: The robot chassis design should be simple and cost effective.
Autonomous navigation functionality: The robot should autonomously navigate and it should contain necessary sensors for doing this.
Long Battery life: The robot should have a long battery life in order to work continuously. The working time should be greater than 1 hour.
Obstacle avoidance: The robot should be able to avoid static and dynamic objects in the surroundings.
The robot hardware design should meet these specifications. Let's look at one of the possible ways of interconnecting the components in this robot. The next section shows the block diagram of a robot and explains it.
