Abstract: A heating cooking system includes heat-shielding plates that are, with respect to a heat-vulnerable portion of a multi-joint robot that performs work, installed on a structure (a wall or a device or the like that is fixed) other than the multi-joint robot, and protect the heat-vulnerable portion of the multi-joint robot from heat generated by a heat source. The heat-shielding plates are also installed at positions and forms whereby conveyance of heat to the heat-vulnerable portion is suppressed, while not interfering with the multi-joint robot when the multi-joint robot operates.

Abstract: A portioning system includes a foodstuff supply unit, a multi-joint robot, and a control device. The multi-joint robot gripes an object that is a gripping object. The control device controls an action of the multi-joint robot. The multi-joint robot, under control of the control device, inserts a gripping member included in a hand of the multi-joint robot into the object, from a surface of the object to a depth at which a physical quantity of the object is estimated to be a predetermined amount, and grips the object.

Abstract: A cooking system comprises a robot; and a memory storing computer executable instructions which, when executed, cause the robot to execute a plurality of operations comprising: a first operation including picking up a cooking auxiliary tool in which a cooking target is set in a first section, conveying the cooking auxiliary tool to a second section, and causing the cooking target in the cooking auxiliary tool to undergo first cooking processing in the second section; and a second operation including conveying the cooking auxiliary tool storing the cooking target having undergone the first cooking processing in the second section to a third section. A duct is arranged in an upper space of the second section, the robot has a proximal end that is fixed to a vertical wall member, and the proximal end of the robot is attached to the wall member at a location away from the second section.

Abstract: A prewashing system includes a dish recognizing unit that recognizes a dish that is an object of prewashing executed prior to main washing, a first prewashing unit that performs prewashing of the dish that is the object of prewashing by a flow of water, a second prewashing unit that performs prewashing of the dish that is the object of prewashing by a washing tool, a prewashing method deciding unit that decides a prewashing method using at least one of the first prewashing unit and the second prewashing unit, on the basis of a form of the dish that is the object of prewashing, which is recognized by the dish recognizing unit, and a prewashing executing unit that executes prewashing of the dish that is the object of prewashing, by the prewashing method decided by the prewashing method deciding unit.

Abstract: A control device for a dishwashing system includes processing circuitry configured to control operation of a work device that performs an operation related to a washing rack that is placeable on each of a plurality of support surfaces extending in substantially the same plane, the plurality of support surfaces including a first support surface, a second support surface disposed in association with a dishwasher capable of washing a dish in the washing rack, and a third support surface; and control the work device to operate such that the washing rack is transferred from the first support surface and returned to the first support surface via the second support surface and via the third support surface. A direction in which the washing rack is carried into the dishwasher and a direction in which the washing rack is carried out of the dishwasher form a substantially right angle as viewed from above.
