Abstract

This disclosure relates to a service robot for providing services at the local vicinity of people. The service robot includes an autonomously driving base platform and a service unit mountable or mounted on the autonomously driving base platform. The autonomously driving base platform includes a drive for driving the autonomously driving base platform and a trolley having a plurality of wheels for moving the autonomously driving base platform. At least one of the plurality of wheels is a drive wheel drivable by the drive. The service robot includes a control module to control the autonomously driving base platform. The control module is connected or is connectable to the drive to transmit control commands to the drive. The drive is controllable by the control commands transmitted from the control module. The service robot includes at least one power source to supply power to the drive and the control module.
