According to statistics, the market size of China's food delivery robots increased from 18.75 million yuan in 2014 to 59.889 million yuan in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of 33.7%. By 2020, the market size of China's food delivery robot industry will be about 1.39 trillion yuan; in 2023, it is expected to grow to 6.25 trillion yuan. Coupled with the maturity of 5G technology, China has successively released industry-related favorable policies to support the development of food delivery robots, and the future market for food delivery robots is promising.
In the continuous development of network technology, catering robots have undergone several iterations, and their application functions have also been continuously improved. Today, with the mature development of 5G technology, the practicability has been greatly enhanced. Especially after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in 2020, in the face of tight medical human resources, food delivery robots have become a group of special "anti-epidemic fighters", with their advantages of precise food delivery, zero contact with personnel, and intelligent interaction. , which provided a great boost to the fight against the new crown epidemic.
5G+AI: 5G Unmanned Food Delivery Solution
The biggest highlight of the food delivery robot is automation and intelligence: the food delivery robot does not require human manipulation, and can replace manpower for food delivery, filling the vacancy of insufficient manpower in the life service sector in the epidemic supervision and management scene.
When the epidemic breaks out, whether it is a hospital with a surge of people or a centralized isolation place with one residence and one separation, food delivery robots can play freely. At meal time, the staff only need to put the packed lunch box in the "belly" of the meal delivery robot, set the destination, and it will automatically plan the route, automatically barrier, and deliver the meal to the designated location. Take your own meals. After picking up the food, the food delivery robot can return autonomously without any operation, truly achieving "zero" contact in the whole process of intelligent food delivery, reducing the risk of cross-infection among personnel. At the same time, the operation of the food delivery robot can be monitored remotely through the camera, so that the whole process of food delivery can be visualized and transparent, and the delivery is worry-free.
Meal delivery robots have extremely high requirements on communication capabilities. The characteristics of high speed, large bandwidth, and low delay of Fibocom 5G intelligent modules can perfectly fit, which can solve the problem of low image and video resolution and data loss in communication transmission of traditional food delivery robots. Problems such as loss, audio and video communication delays and freezes.
High-definition images, smooth transmission: Traditional food delivery robots are limited by the network environment, and cannot perform real-time high-definition image transmission and data transmission, and are prone to network disconnection, freeze, data loss, or no signal source caused by poor network coverage. . Fibocom's 5G smart module has comprehensive 5G network coverage, supports ultra-high-definition video recording and playback, and allows the food delivery robot to record and store the movement of epidemic supervision places in real time during the delivery process, which is convenient for system terminals to check at any time and improve supervision. Effect.
Voice interaction, instant response: Fibocom's 5G smart module can support the voice broadcast and interactive intercom instant response of the food delivery robot. Before delivery, through a specific wake-up word, the user can talk to the food delivery robot and issue orders without manual manipulation. The food delivery robot can quickly respond and complete the task after receiving the instructions; when delivering food, the food delivery robot will automatically make a voice Broadcast to remind people to pick up meals. If there is no response to the voice broadcast reminder, the meal delivery robot will call the contact number built into the system to remind by phone, saving delivery time and improving delivery efficiency.
