Robotic food preparation system

A robotic system for food preparation, wherein at least a portion of the robotic system is shaped and sized to be embedded within a kitchen cabinet, the robotic system comprising:

• a gantry subsystem comprising a robotic arm mechanically coupled to a gripper device and an engager device, wherein the gantry subsystem is configured to translate and rotate each of the robotic arm, the gripper device, and the engager device relative to orthogonal axes;
• an ingredient storage subsystem mechanically coupled to the gantry subsystem and comprising a plurality of ingredient storage containers, wherein each ingredient storage container has an ingredient dispenser actuatable by an ingredient dispensing mechanism operable by the engager device to dispense ingredients;
• a sensor subsystem comprising at least one of a camera, a temperature sensor, or a weight sensor;
• a cooking appliance positioned below the ingredient storage subsystem and having a lid operable by the gripper device, the lid configured to
• weigh the dispensed ingredients;
• and
• transfer the dispensed ingredients into the cooking appliance, the cooking appliance configured to convert the ingredients into the food;
• and
• a control subsystem communicably coupled to the sensor subsystem and the gantry subsystem, the control subsystem configured to:
• receive information describing a recipe;
• compile the information into machine instructions configured to operate the robotic system for performing the food preparation.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, by a robotic food preparation system, information describing a recipe for preparing food, the recipe comprising a first set of ingredients and food preparation steps;
• generating, using a machine learning model and from the recipe, a second set of ingredients and food preparation steps, the machine learning model trained, based on user preferences, to customize operation of the robotic food preparation system;
• compile the second set of ingredients and food preparation steps into machine instructions configured to operate the robotic food preparation system to prepare the food;
• and
• based on the machine instructions:
• inverting, by a gripper device of the robotic food preparation system, a lid of a cooking appliance for receiving at least one ingredient;
• dispensing, by an ingredient dispensing mechanism of the robotic food preparation system, the at least one ingredient from at least one of a plurality of ingredient storage containers into the inverted lid, the plurality of ingredient storage containers shaped and sized to be embedded within a kitchen cabinet;
• transferring, by the lid, the dispensed at least one ingredient into the cooking appliance;
• and
• preparing, by the cooking appliance, the food from the at least one ingredient for consumption.
