2. OBJECTIVE
Designing and implementing a system for educational
institutions, public banks and conference halls which
can intelligently guide visitors to their destinations.

3. INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEM
It is a combination of hardware and software to performs a specific
task.
• Is a system built to perform its duty, completely or partially independent of
human intervention.
• Is specially designed to perform a few tasks in the most efficient way.
• Interacts with physical elements in our environment, viz. controlling
and
driving a motor, sensing temperature, etc.
e.g. MP3 players, navigation systems on aircraft, intruder alarm systems.
 An
embedded system can also be defined as a single purpose
computer.

4. THE EXISTING SYSTEM
Here we have the human receptionists or guide but
• Humans need to be trained, might look dull and must be provided
wages.
• Human
behaviors are unpredictable and they can go wrong in
guiding a visitor with their punctuality and politeness.

5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• Our project, micro receptionist is an automated
robotic reception system that takes the role of a
receptionist and guides the incoming visitors by
queuing them to their respective destinations/officials
by showing route maps with the help of touchscreen
color panel and multilingual voice generation.
• It is also capable of recording the employee signature
and does real time signature verification to maintain a
digital attendance book.

6. WORKING MODEL
This smart robot will be able to do the following receptionist chores on its
own :
• Scans the space using sensors and greets with a welcome message.
• Separate the visitors into regular employee or a general visitor.
• Prompts the user to enter his signature/name and the purpose.
• Assigns a visitor ID number, details and stores in memory.

7. • asks the user to touch their choice(Place/Person)
• Shows route map of destination spot for visitors.
And for Employees
• Master unit Communicates with slave unit.
• The official acknowledge with (call or hold) of the request.

10. PROJECT ADVANTAGES:
 No need to pay salary since this is a one-time investment for buyers.
 Robotic receptionist will be always polite, punctual, more pleasant and careful
with the customers and visitors.
 Young girls are often trained only to greet and guide the customer in shops. The
reception robot can replace them.


An aging population means, labor is going to be in severe shortage. This will
create a strong demand for these automated robotic receptionists.
The technology could be easily integrated into receptions of college, university,
commercial buildings, libraries, medical hospitals, department stores, jewel
shops, clothing stores etc.
