Abstract
A fully automated robot system for quick service and fast-food restaurants (also usable in home kitchens with similar results), consisting of a machine composed of several mechanical bodies and different mechanical structures of robot arms, which main bodies are attached to the kitchen's ceiling, controlled by special controllers connected to a standard or industrial computer and programmed to move around the kitchen space and to execute the same repetitive tasks that are executed by human workers in fast-food restaurants, while still using existing kitchen equipment and settings (or/and new dedicated equipments), tasks such as (and not limited to): receiving online customers' orders (via mobile application or internet website) or onsite customers' orders (via a tablet computer, or similar), preparing, cooking, serving food and beverages on a tray (or in a take-away bag), and ultimately discarding the customer's tray from table and washing dishes.
Description
Detailed description of the invention More specifically, and according to a preferred embodiment, the proposed fully automated robot system for fast-food and quick service restaurants (or home kitchens) consists of a machine controlled by special controllers connected to a standard or industrial computer, composed of several mechanical bodies and different mechanical structures of robot arms, which main bodies are attached to the kitchen ceiling, and able to carry out, with a high degree of accuracy, a series of repetitive tasks that human labor usually execute inside the kitchen of such restaurants, tasks such as: handling, preparing, cooking, transporting and serving food and soda beverages, as well as picking-up trays and washing dishes. The robot machine's main bodies are suspended to the kitchen's ceiling and slide to move around the kitchen space (fig. 1). They comprise one (or more) robotic arm made up of several metal segments, attached together by joints, and ending with an end effector, or gripper, specially designed to be capable of grabbing and carrying food and beverage cups or bottles (such as fries, hamburger meat slice, bread, chicken nuggets, soda drinks, etc.) as well as food containers, trays and various kitchen equipment. The mechanical structure of each robot is composed of 1 to 6 dof (degrees of freedom) in a flexible configuration of translations and rotations depending on required tasks. It is driven by multiple servomotors, one for each dof. Each servomotor is driven by special controllers which include a specific configuration of electronic parts connected in a network with other controllers. The programming algorithms are executed by a computer that determines the kind of task each robot must perform and at what moment. Several security and protection functionalities are implemented, such as: double bus control command, dual line encoders, feed-back in position for each dof, optical and proximity sensors etc. Because several human workers can work at the same time with the robotic system, a lot of security laws are implemented: law no. 1: the movement of the robotic system is exclusively on the ceiling, the floor being reserved for employees who may be working at the same time with the robotic system; law no. 2: the humans have always priority, the robot stops and waits if the human uses or intends to use the same instrument or kitchen appliances (this is possible due to optical and proximity sensors);
law no.3: the supervisor has absolute control over the system and can, in real time, stop and delay the task of each robot or repair some failures. Law no. 4: the system is equipped with fire extinguisher devices and fire, smoke and temperature detectors which can optionally work locally automatically or under supervisor acceptance; law no. 5: the serving and discharging of trays is only possible with human acceptance (see the drawings) and only if these operations are deemed safe.
Orders (online or inline) are instantly processed but food preparation is not necessarily performed in the same order: cooking time is optimized with special neuronal network algorithms to minimize customers' waiting time.
The robot's dynamics are calculated to support 30% overspeed for emergency situations such as crowded situations.
All robots are controlled by an industrial or standard computer allowing the arm to move very precisely, repeating exactly the required series of movements over and over again. The proposed system works with tablet computers (or similar), installable onsite and running a program that customers would use to place their food order. Another option is an online website and/or a mobile application for customers to remotely place their orders for delivery.
Furthermore, and according to a preferred process, the proposed robot functions as follows: (1) customer places an order, either using a tablet computer accessible onsite (or places an order remotely via an online website or mobile application); (2) application sends order details to the robot's computer which in turn sends commands to the robotic arms; (3) the cooking robot starts preparing the requested meal by gathering the required ingredients (pre-calibrated doses of fries, meat, vegetables, bread, etc.) and cooking them (if necessary), using the robotic arm and food cooking appliances ; (4) the cooking robot places prepared food and requested beverage(s) in their respective container(s) and on a tray (or in a bag, if it's for delivery or to go);
(5) the cooking robot transfers the tray (or bag) to the serving robot using sts (serving transfer system, fig. 3); (6) the serving robot grabs the tray and brings it to the customer's table (or grabs the bag and brings it either to the delivery person or to the customer) using the tts (table transfer system, fig. 4); (7) once the customer is done eating, s/he pushes a button to ask for a clean-up; (8) the serving robot picks-up the tray from the customer's table, using the tts (table transfer system, fig.
4), throws its content into the trash, and places tray on a counter for washing; (9) the cleaning robot washes the pile of used trays for future use, and other dishes, using the cts (cleaning transfer system, fig.2).
The proposed fully automated fast-food preparation robot, is customizable and adjustable to most existing fast-food kitchens' settings and equipment, as well as to most home kitchens with same results.
The main advantages of the proposed fully automated fast-food preparation robot are numerous: (1) it does not require to replace or modify any of the existing kitchen's settings and equipment; (2) it saves on human labor cost; (3) it is customizable to different kitchen settings; (4) it ensures a fast service and is less error-prone than humans; (5) it is safer as far as food contaminations is concerned and as far as human workers' physical safety is concerned.
(6)eliminate waiting lines in front of the desk people waiting their turn seated at the tables (7) for the first time in the fast food restaurantes the peuple will be serve at the table by the robot-waiters and no tip necessary :) (8) the people can programmed by internet the serving time ¨ what time can be served and at what table - the estimated arriving time at the restaurant.

Cross-reference to related applications --- not applicable Reference to a sequence listing, a table, or a computer program, listing compact disc appendix --- not applicable Background of the invention This invention belongs to the field of robotics applied to the preparation of food, especially designed for quick service and fast-food restaurants (and can also be implemented within ordinary home kitchens).
In 2013, there were 232,611 establishments in the u.s. fast food industry, employing over three and a half million people. The avalanche of rising costs in that industry is making fast-food franchisers look for technology that can allow them to produce more food, faster, with higher quality and lower waste, with labor being a large portion of the total cost (around $47bn).
Additionally, in sparsely populated areas, recruiting sufficient numbers of employees is difficult.
Also, the time-dependant and variable customer demands cannot be precisely predicted and often results in overstaffed and understaffed locations. Health and safety concerns are also important issues where food is prepared directly by people, such as the ones related with cooking oil's high temperatures, or with flu propagation by sick employees contaminating the food. Consequently, there is an obvious need and utility for an automated food preparation method, and therefore the goal of the present invention is to propose a fully automated robot system that would fully or partial replace human labor in such restaurants, from receiving orders to preparing, cooking and serving food and beverages, to picking-up and washing dishes, while still making use of existing kitchen settings and equipments. With fast-food's raw ingredients being already packaged in pre-calibrated doses, it makes it possible to automate the process.
Brief summary of the invention The present invention concerns an innovative and unique fully automated fast-food preparation robot for quick service and fast-food restaurants, specially designed to very precisely execute, over and over again, the repetitive sequences and gestures required to prepare and serve fast-food products, while still using existing kitchen equipment and settings: receiving customers' orders, preparing, cooking, serving food and beverages on a tray, and ultimately discarding the customer's tray from table and washing dishes.
It consists of a computer-programmed machine system composed of several mechanical bodies and different mechanical structures of robot arms, which main bodies are attached to the kitchen ceiling, (having one (or more) robotic arm), made up of several metal segments, attached by joints, and ending with several dedicated end effectors, or grippers, specially designed to be able of grabbing and carrying food, beverages as well as food containers, trays and various kitchen equipments. The entire system is flexible for any configuration of kitchen structure or size, meal quantity or arrangement or serving space dimensions. The proposed robot system functions within clearly defined processes: the sts (serving transfer system, fig. 3), tts (table transfer system, fig. 4) and the cts (cleaning transfer system, fig. 2).
The special feature of this invention is that it is capable of executing the entire fast-food preparation tasks usually carried out by human workers, in pre-programmed sequences, in a fast and efficient fashion, and without requiring modifications to the existing kitchen's settings and equipment.
However, new dedicated kitchen equipments can be added.
