Description

Automatic frying system using a robot {AUTOMATIC FRYING SYSTEM USING ROBOT}

The present invention relates to a system that can automatically fry fried objects, and more specifically, to an automatic frying system that can automatically fry fried objects using a robot.

In general, fryers are manufactured in various forms such as for home use, commercial use, or factory use, and are devices that cook fried food by frying raw food ingredients using frying oil such as cooking oil, oil, or palm oil put into the fryer.
