About

About DINERBOT T9

DINERBOT T9 uses LiDAR-based mapping, autonomous route planning and obstacle avoidance to move food, dishes or supplies between configured stops. Four adjustable trays carry a combined 40 kg, while a 70 cm minimum passage width lets the robot work through typical restaurant and hospitality layouts. Keenon rates battery life at up to 18 hours, with automatic charging available for longer operating schedules.

Staff load the trays, select one or several destinations on the touchscreen and dispatch the robot into service. Multi-robot software coordinates traffic when several T9 units share the same dining room, while the suspension system helps keep carried items stable. At each stop the robot alerts staff or customers to collect the correct tray before continuing or returning to the kitchen.
