What it does
One robot, a full welcome desk on wheels.
Everything a first-time visitor needs from a helpful human: approachable, patient and always on.
Wayfinding & directions
Point-to-point directions across campus: rooms, buildings, facilities and the fastest way there.
Answers questions
Course details, opening times, events, “where do I go?” The things people ask a real guide.
Robotic arm & gripper
A vacuum-suction arm picks up and hands out campus maps, or chocolates and treats at events.
Guided tours
Leads prospective students and visitors on tours during open days, keeping groups together.
Autonomous navigation
Indoor mapping, obstacle avoidance and route guidance, so it can walk visitors there itself.
The robot
Designed, built and tested end to end.
The Smart Campus Navigation Robot began as a final-year Mechatronics project and grew into a working prototype: a touchscreen and voice guide with a robotic arm, engineered from CAD and component selection through prototyping, assembly and testing.
