Robotic food preparation system

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive information describing a recipe for preparing food using a robotic food preparation system,
• wherein the recipe comprises a first set of ingredients and food preparation steps for the robotic food preparation system;
• generate, using a machine learning model and from the recipe, a second set of ingredients and food preparation steps for the robotic food preparation system,
• wherein the machine learning model is 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:
• cause the robotic food preparation system to invert, using a gripper device, a lid of a cooking appliance for receiving at least one ingredient;
• cause the robotic food preparation system to dispense, using an ingredient dispensing mechanism, the at least one ingredient from at least one of a plurality of ingredient storage containers into the inverted lid,
• wherein the ingredient storage containers are shaped and sized to be embedded within a kitchen cabinet;
• and
• cause the robotic food preparation system to transfer, using the lid, the dispensed at least one ingredient into the cooking appliance.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, by one or more computer processors of 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;
• compiling 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,
• wherein the ingredient storage containers are 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.
