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

Patent number: 12246459Abstract: A method can include: receiving imaging data; identifying containers using an object detector; scheduling insertion based on the identified containers; and optionally performing an action based on a scheduled insertion. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method functions to schedule insertion for a robotic system (e.g., ingredient insertion of a robotic foodstuff assembly module). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate execution of a dynamic insertion strategy; and/or facilitate independent operation of a plurality of robotic assembly modules along a conveyor line.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Chef Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Clement Creusot, Rajat Bhageria, Norberto Goussies, Luis Rayas, Xiaoyi Chen

Publication number: 20230294295Abstract: The method can include: receiving sensor measurements; maintaining an ingredient model for a foodstuff bin; determining a set of ingredient parameters; providing feedback based on the ingredient parameters; and/or any other suitable elements. The method can optionally include determining a refill event; and responding to a refill event. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method can function to facilitate automatic refill notifications at a human-machine interface (HMI) and/or can function to facilitate automatic control adjustments based on ingredient refill events. Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate provision of user feedback for key ingredient parameters, such as a remaining ingredient amount in a particular foodstuff bin, pick weight/volume statistics, via the HMI.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Clement Creusot, Rajeev Sarvaria, Luis Rayas, Rajat Bhageria, Xiaoyi Chen
