This Project was selected from the ARM Institute’s 23-01 Technology Project Call that addressed the following topic areas:
- Automated Robotic Task Planning
- Multi-Robot, Multi-Human Collaboration, Task Sharing & Task Allocation
- Safe and Scalable Manufacturing of Energetics
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Robotics for Manufacturing
- Discovery Workshops and Market Studies
Project Team:
Dexai Robotics (Principal Investigator), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Topic Areas Addressed:
Automated Robotic Task Planning
Description:
Fixed manipulators perform tasks that require speed and correctness. As the restaurant industry struggles to return to pre-pandemic levels and continues to navigate workforce shortages, robotics can help to fill the gap. This project will build upon Dexai Robotics’ existing product by doubling improvement on ingredient pick up robot moving time, improving the planning time for utensil pick up, and improving on meal throughput. While the use case is focused on the food industry, the deliverables from this project will impact the broader robotics community by increasing speed and accuracy for almost any robotic manufacturing application.
