DESIGN NAME: PCNC Parker
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Service Robot
INSPIRATION: The triangular design language is employed to minimize volume during park strolls, ensuring seamless alignment with the user's line of sight. The angles of the triangle are designed for optimal comfort when users are seated and for efficient loading. These modules, arranged in a matryoshka structure with two chairs, and table in a 3 IN 1 order, optimize space efficiency. Both the delivered food and furniture modules, stored in the hub, are dispatched to the user-specified seating upon order
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PCNC is a service robot designed for diverse activities in outdoor spaces like parks and festivals. The robot manages the entire park maintenance cycle, handling seat rentals, food delivery functioning as a last-mile delivery service, and waste disposal post-meal consumption specifically crafted for outdoor areas with low facility density. By simplifying the process from food delivery to providing seating in less-equipped areas, it ensures a seamless picnic experience in expansive spaces.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: PCNC is a service robotics designed to facilitate various activities in spacious outdoor areas like parks and festivals. It serves as both a last-mile delivery service and a seat rental robot, specifically tailored for outdoor locations with low facility density. The robot takes responsibility for the entire cycle of park maintenance, including seat rentals, food delivery, and handling the waste generated after consuming the delivered food.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in SEP 2023 in Seoul and finished in JAN 2024 in Seoul.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The robot is equipped with sheet metal and an LED display, and as it is designed for outdoor use, it features cameras, GPS, IMU, Lidar, and an impact sensor. Upon reservation, the robot employs AI environmental analysis capabilities to guide users to their preferred seating area near nature, whether by the riverside or on a tranquil grassy field. Before being called, the robot retrieves furniture modules stored in the hub to offer seating.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 582*700*610mm. The robot is equipped with sheet metal and an LED display, and as it is designed for outdoor use, it features cameras, GPS, IMU, Lidar, and an impact sensor
