Field: Handling (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A system for controlling a serving robot, the system comprising:
a sensor data acquisition unit configured to acquire first sensor data on at least one object placed on a support coupled to a serving robot, using at least one first sensor coupled to the serving robot; and
an illumination property management unit configured to decide whether the at least one object is a serving object on the basis of the first sensor data, and in response to deciding that the at least one object is a serving object, determine properties of illumination of the serving robot to be applied to the serving object on the basis of the first sensor data, and to dynamically change the properties of the illumination of the serving robot on the basis of information on surroundings acquired during travel of the serving robot,
wherein the illumination property management unit is configured to dynamically change the properties of the illumination of the serving robot in a manner to eliminate a difference between properties of light actually applied to the serving object and the determined properties of the illumination of the serving robot, and
wherein the illumination property management unit is configured to, in response to determining that the serving object is removed from the support and placed at a new position, determine properties of illumination around the serving object to be applied to the serving object at the new position, on the basis of ambient information on the serving object at the new position.
