Publication number: 20250083324Abstract: The foodstuff assembly system can include: a robot arm, a frame, a set of foodstuff bins, a sensor suite, a set of food utensils, and a computing system. The system can optionally include: a container management system, a human machine interface (HMI). However, the foodstuff assembly system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to enable picking of foodstuff from a set of foodstuff bins and placement into a container (such as a bowl, tray, or other foodstuff receptacle). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate transferal of bulk material (e.g., bulk foodstuff) into containers, such as containers moving along a conveyor line.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Chef Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Rajat Bhageria, Clement Creusot, Luis Rayas, Dean Wilhelmi, Harjot Bal, Xinyi Daniel Tang, Erik Gokbora, Connor Buckland, Kody Brown, Weston Wahl
