Precision cooking with 7 DOF robotic arms: integrating digital twins for nutrient-conserving food preparation
摘要
Integration of robotics and AI in the food industry holds out the prospect of a higher level of accuracy, efficient processes, and better consistency of food. The research presents an autonomous robotic cooking system that includes a 7 D.O.F. robotic arm, real-time thermal modelling, and adaptive control algorithms, improving the efficiency of cooking and quality of food. The system uses its digital twin technology to simulate and manipulate cooking variables in real time so that the perfect heat distribution and preservation of nutrients are achievable. The system uses Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in its algorithm, which is based on energy-minimizing motion planning, to deliver energy savings of 50% and a 20% reduction in the task completion time compared to the standard techniques. Assessment using Gajar Ka Halwa showed effective maintenance of nutrients, minor β-carotene oxidation, due to the stable temperatures (
