System and/or method for robotic foodstuff assembly

A system comprising:

• a plurality of foodstuff assembly modules arranged along a conveyor line, each comprising foodstuff assembly module of the plurality comprising:
• a frame configured to removably retain a plurality of foodstuff bins;
• a robot arm mounted to the frame above the plurality of foodstuff bins, the robot arm configured to mechanically mount a food utensil;
• a sensor suite mounted to the frame;
• a human-machine interface (HMI) mounted to the frame opposite the robot arm;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor suite and the robot arm, the controller configured to:
• control the robot arm based on data from the sensor suite to pick an adjustable bulk amount of foodstuff from the foodstuff bins, based on a topography of the foodstuff, using the food utensil;
• based on a set of weight measurements from a weight measurement sensor of the sensor suite, determine a validation parameter associated with the adjustable bulk amount;
• and
• provide feedback associated with the validation parameter at the HMI, wherein the HMI is configured to determine the adjustable bulk amount of foodstuff;
• wherein each foodstuff assembly module of the plurality is configured to operate independently of a remainder of the foodstuff assembly modules of the plurality.

A foodstuff assembly system for transferring bulk foodstuff into containers on a conveyor line, the foodstuff assembly system comprising:

• a frame;
• a sensor suite comprising a set of cameras mounted to the frame and a plurality of weight measurement sensors mounted to the frame, each weight measurement sensor of the plurality configured to support a base end of a respective foodstuff bin of a set of foodstuff bins at a superior surface;
• a robot arm mounted within the frame, a base of the robot arm mounted at a first mounting height above a height of the superior surface, the robot arm comprising a utensil actuator at a distal end of the robot arm;
• a wash-down suit enclosing the robot arm between the base of the robot arm and the distal end of the robot arm;
• a food utensil mechanically fastened to an actuation output of the utensil actuator;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor suite and the robot arm, wherein the controller is configured to, based on image data from the set of cameras, control the robot arm and thereby manipulate the food utensil to:
• pick a bulk amount of bulk foodstuff from within the set of foodstuff bins based on a topography of the bulk foodstuff;
• and
• place the bulk amount of bulk foodstuff into a container on the conveyor line.
