In this busy world, it is very difficult to manage a home that cares for everyone, especially elderly people and small kids need special attention. At home, grandparents need to take their medications and young children need to be fed at the right time. A two-wheeled robot controlled by Alexa is proposed here to address the problem. This robot will be accessible from anywhere, as long as one has access to the internet. The main aim of this robot is to deliver food and medicine to those with mobility impairment without the help of humans. If the elderly are alone in the house, using Alexa, he/she can give commands to robots and meet their needs. By connecting the robot with Alexa, it can be controlled from anywhere using the internet. Robotic operating system is used as a good platform for the navigation of this autonomous robot. Map-based navigation is used in the present robot which makes it useful in houses, hospitals, etc. The simulation results and the experiments conducted on the robot show that the navigation accuracy and performance of the robot are found to be satisfactory.
