Robotic faucet

An apparatus for use with a faucet that is configured to be installed in operable proximity to a sink and to dispense water with user-controlled water flow and water temperature, the apparatus comprising:

• a control circuit that is configured to operably couple to at least one water flow valve for the faucet to thereby permit the control circuit to automatically control at least one flow of water through the faucet;
• at least one articulated robotic arm that is configured to be physically connected at a first end proximal to the sink and that has an end effector connector disposed at a second end of the at least one articulated robotic arm, which second end is opposite the first end, and wherein the at least one articulated robotic arm is operably coupled to the control circuit such that the control circuit automatically controls operation of the at least one articulated robotic arm;
• at least one sensor that operably couples to the control circuit, which at least one sensor is configured to sense at least one physical parameter;
• and wherein the control circuit is further configured to use the at least one water flow valve, the at least one articulated robotic arm, and the at least one sensor to automatically wash dishware in the sink.
