UBTECH AUCARI Open Shelf Delivery Robot

A closed cabinet protects what it carries, but it also asks for a hand, a code and a pause at every stop. The UBTECH AUCARI Open Shelf Delivery Robot takes the opposite view: keep the load in plain sight, let staff reach it at once, and leave the walking to the machine. For kitchens, wards, hotel floors and offices where the handoff is the whole point, that is a practical idea.

Background

UBTECH and its service robot lineage

Ubtech Robotics Corp Ltd was incorporated in 2012 and is headquartered in Shenzhen, China. The company is known for a wide range of robots, from humanoids to commercial service machines, and the AUCARI sits in the working end of that range: a robot meant to be put to use in daily operations rather than shown on a stand.

Within the UBTECH family, the AUCARI is the open-shelf delivery model. Its closest relative in the catalog is the UBTECH VERCARI Cabinet Delivery Robot, which carries items inside an enclosed cabinet. Another open-tray option is the UBTECH Cadebot L100 Multi-scene Intelligent Open Delivery Robot (XCAD101). Together they show how the manufacturer matches the carrying style to the job.

Positioning and key technology

The AUCARI uses high-capacity three-layer open shelves fitted with multiple sensors that can identify and deliver items. Each tray measures 42 × 41.5 cm, and the maximum load of each layer is 10 kg. The shelves are open, so a nurse, a waiter or a receptionist can place or lift an item without unlocking anything.

Behind the shelves sits a navigation package built from lidar, ultrasonic and infrared sensors, an RGBD camera and an IMU. Automated route planning and advanced navigation enable precise maneuverability in tight spaces, and the robot supports door access and elevator control. A secure cloud platform handles delivery scheduling, tracking and monitoring.

How does the AUCARI differ from a cabinet delivery robot?

The difference is access. A cabinet robot closes its load behind a door, which suits items that must be kept out of sight or out of reach. The AUCARI leaves its three shelves open, which suits flows where speed of handoff matters more than concealment: plates, cups, linens, supplies and small parcels that staff want to grab and go.

Open shelves also make the loading routine simple. Staff set items on a 42 × 41.5 cm tray, send the robot off, and collect them at the destination. With a maximum load of 10 kg on each layer, the three levels let one trip serve several stops or several kinds of item, without mixing them on one surface.

If your priority is a closed compartment, the UBTECH VERCARI Cabinet Delivery Robot is the model to compare. If you want open trays and a flexible carrying layout, the AUCARI is the one to put on the shortlist.

How does the AUCARI move through a building?

Buildings are made of narrow corridors, doors and lifts, and the AUCARI is specified with those in mind. It needs a minimum passage width of 75 cm, and its speed ranges from 0.2 m/s to 1 m/s. Its footprint is 57 x 60 cm, with a height of 143 cm.

The sensor set combines lidar, ultrasonic and infrared sensors, an RGBD camera and an IMU, so the robot reads its surroundings from several angles at once. Automated route planning then picks the way. The robot supports door access and elevator control systems, which opens up multi-room and multi-floor routes.

Small floor irregularities are covered as well: the robot can climb an obstacle 1.5 cm high and 3.5 cm wide, and handle a slope angle of 5°. Connectivity is by Wi-Fi, 5G or 4G, so it can reach the cloud platform in different network setups.

The cloud platform does more than send the robot on its way. It schedules deliveries, tracks and monitors them, and accurately records delivery times, location and other data. For a manager, that means a delivery record instead of guesswork.

Who is the UBTECH AUCARI for?

Restaurants and hotels are the most natural fit. The robot operates in “Dining Room” mode or “Room Service” mode, so it matches both the table-service flow and the guest-room flow. Operators building out a dining floor can also browse the wider Restaurant Robots category.

Healthcare facilities are a second group. Staff there move supplies, documents and small items between desks, wards and stations all day, and an open-shelf robot takes over part of that routine. Related options are gathered in the Healthcare category.

Offices, campuses and other commercial buildings with corridors and lifts form a third segment. Because the product appearance and functions can be customized according to customer requirements and specific scenarios, integrators and project owners with particular needs can discuss them during the quotation. Buyers who need a sealed load should look at the cabinet model instead.

What is the UBTECH AUCARI used for?

1. Meal and plate delivery. Carries dishes from the kitchen to the dining room, one tray per layer.
2. Room service. Brings items to guest rooms using the “Room Service” mode, with elevator control support.
3. Clearing and returns. Brings empty glasses, plates and used items back toward the kitchen or service point.
4. Supply runs. Moves consumables and small supplies between stations and storage areas.
5. Document and parcel handoff. Carries documents and small parcels between desks, floors and reception areas.
6. Tracked internal logistics. Uses the cloud platform to schedule deliveries and record times and locations.
