Follow along our ABET mandated compositions and presentations. We'll take you through - as we concieve, design, and implement our first system prototype. You can use it as reference for your own project!
Project Description
What is the Bartender Butler Bot, or as we like to call it: The B3?
A rapidly deployable fully automated service appliance for the
high-tech restauranteur, tireless host, or robotics enthusiast alike
Taking care of guests is work. We wanted to focus to be on having fun.
Our system automates the entire beverage service process. It enables the user to physically select a beverage from a menu via touchscreen interface, whereupon the system automatically dispenses the individual ingredients of the drink into an empty glass and autonomously delivers the completed beverage back to the user.
We accomplish this by integrating:
- An automated beverage dispensing unit
- An autonomous drink delivery bot
- A seamless user-interface for rapid deployment
This rapidly developed prototype provides a consumer-level proof of concept for a continuous-use appliance to logistically support the hosting of private social gatherings - as a light-hearted precursor to a more formal endeavor in the Food & Beverage industry.

01EEL4914 Project Proposal
An initial formulation and scoping of our senior design project for the 2019-2020 academic year at UCF’s College of Electrical Engineering and Computer. It details our initial motivations and lays some groundwork for our research and design approach.

02EEL4914 EOS Design Report
The state of the documentation, at the end of the first semester working on this project. The document makes significant effort detailing the background research, component selection, and initial design plan following the approval of our project proposal. We admit to errors in grammar, and possibly lapses in logic. Our focus was on the hands-on aspect of engineering - even then. Sorry!

03EEL4915 Critical Design Review Presentation
The presentation held in a public forum of our peers during the middle of our second semester working on the project. It introduces the project, lays out our motivations, briefly discusses the contemporary development environment, our design plan, and implementation progress. It isn't perfect, but we're quite proud of the aesthetic.

04EEL4915 Conference Paper & Committee Presentation
An 8-page conference-style paper summarizes our project, for quickly getting up to speed with the nature of the system design. We leveraged this document to entice some of our local faculty to form a formal review committee - and it set the stage for our final demo and presentation. Both the paper and the final presentation are embedded below.

05EEL4915 Final Design Report
This is intended to be our most thorough and complete documentation. It irons out the design report started in EEL4914 [#02], including new fully furnished sections on the custom PCB design, our final as-built design, and financials. It is quite dense, but it has all of the information one might need to retrace our steps.

06 Raw Design File Archive & Active Links
As per the requirements of the course all of the raw design files are embedded here - but you're encouraged to visit our active GitHub project page directly. It's a simple data dump here - nothing's organized in any particular way but everything should be in it from before this website was created. Feel free to dig in! If you have any questions about the content, feel free to reach out to us at our contact links below.
