Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of service robots, and in particular to a vehicle receiving service robot for an auto repair shop. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and robotics, various types of intelligent service robots have begun to enter daily life and work. Especially in the service industry, in order to improve efficiency and service quality and reduce labor costs, service robots are increasingly used. For example, food delivery robots used in the catering industry, humanoid service robots that receive guests at the front desk of hotels, etc. These robots not only improve the user experience, but also save a lot of human resources for enterprises. However, there is currently a lack of service robots designed specifically for the auto repair industry on the market, especially in the process of picking up cars, which still generally rely on manual operation.

[0003] At present, when customers come to the car repair shops or 4S shops for vehicle inspection, the staff usually guides the customers to park and collects vehicle information. Although this method can meet basic needs, it has problems such as low efficiency and shortage of manpower during peak hours. In addition, due to the lack of standardized operating procedures, the service quality is difficult to guarantee, which can easily lead to customer dissatisfaction and even complaints. Some shops have also tried to alleviate the above problems by making appointments through mobile phone applications, but this cannot completely replace the work of on-site personnel.

[0004] The traditional manual car pick-up service is not only time-consuming, but also subject to the influence of employees' personal abilities and emotions, which easily leads to fluctuations in service levels. In addition, in the face of emergencies (such as vehicle failures that are more serious than expected), it is often impossible to adjust strategies in time, which brings inconvenience to subsequent work. The existing online reservation platform has a single function and can only achieve preliminary communication, and cannot effectively improve the automation level of the entire service process.
