Development of intelligent, semi-autonomous robotic apparatus capable of automatically reacting to changing paramaters in real-time

通过我们成功的创新英国智能项目(申请号：23797)，我们已经完成了行业领先的Moley机器人厨房的生产演示的开发。在与Schunk的合作下，我们为Robot Chef开发了第四代低成本手，具有必要的抓地力，可以举起1.8公斤重的平底锅，并具有所需的移动程度。我们已经建立了我们的潜在客户名单：大型疗养院、酒店、商业厨房。然而，现有的机器人手限制了Moley机器人厨房的功能，因为它们需要复杂的手动编程来执行复杂的烹饪任务，并且无法对预先确定的烹饪环境的任何变化做出反应，例如多个不同形状、重量和方向的对象。该项目的目标是重新设计和升级固件和软件，以创建一种改变游戏规则的智能机器人设备，包括手，能够实时自动调整环境/参数的变化。这将在食品加工/包装以及制药、化学和生物技术(包括细胞培养)实验室环境中得到更广泛的应用。

Through our successful Innovate UK Smart project (Application Number: 23797), we have completed the development of a production demonstrator of the industry leading Moley Robotic Kitchen. In collaboration with Schunk, we developed a fourth-generation low-cost hand for Robot Chef, with the necessary grip to lift 1.8kgs pans with required degrees of movement. We have built our list of potential clients; large care-homes, hotels, commercial kitchens.However, existing robotic hands are limiting the functionality of the Moley Robotic Kitchen, as they require intricate manual programming to carry out complex cooking tasks and are unable to react to any changes made to a pre-determined cooking environment such as multiple objects of different shapes, weight and orientations.The aim of this project to redesign and upgrade firmware and software to create a game-changing, intelligent, robotic apparatus, including hands, capable of automatically adjusting to changes in the environment/parameters in real-time. This will have wider application in food processing/packaging and pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology (including cell cultivation) laboratory environments.
