Self-propelled robotic harvester for selective picking of high quality agriculture row crops
The present invention relates to automatic and high throughput smart, robotic, autonomous or driver operated, self-propelled field crops harvester (SPFCH) device of row crops, characterized by the need of selecting harvesting ripen crop, during relative long period of time. Harvesting is done by one or more modular robotic harvesting arms hanged on modular booms. When harvesting orchards fruits the SPFCH comprise at least one hybrid robotic arms equipped with a grabbing hand aimed to grab one or more fruit of a an adjacent fruits and also cut its connecting stem, and arm transporting mechanism that gently collects the fruits and transport them to the SPFCH main accumulation area. When harvesting cotton, the SPFCH of the invention may further comprise vacuum sucking hoses and at least one ginning unit that gin the seed-cotton during harvesting and accumulate the seeds in a self-container, and the lint by bales processed, on board by self-press.
Transfer apparatus and transfer method
A transfer system in the form of a robot line used in one embodiment to transfer products, such as slices of meat or other fresh food, while complying with the hygienic requirements. The robot line may transfer the products, simply and with little constructive and financial effort. The robots used for this purpose may be very simply constructed with only one swivel arm and the robot base may be guided below the working plane, and only the swivel arm and the gripper may be disposed above the working plane.
COOKING SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR COOKING WITH AN AUXILIARY TOOL
A cooking system comprises a robot; and a memory storing computer executable instructions which, when executed, cause the robot to execute a plurality of operations comprising: a first operation including picking up a cooking auxiliary tool in which a cooking target is set in a first section, conveying the cooking auxiliary tool to a second section, and causing the cooking target in the cooking auxiliary tool to undergo first cooking processing in the second section; and a second operation including conveying the cooking auxiliary tool storing the cooking target having undergone the first cooking processing in the second section to a third section. A duct is arranged in an upper space of the second section, the robot has a proximal end that is fixed to a vertical wall member, and the proximal end of the robot is attached to the wall member at a location away from the second section.
Automated Gripping Tool
The automated gripping tool enables a user to move a food product from a first position to a second position while maintaining the integrity and appearance of the food product. The automated gripping tool makes use of flexible gripping elements on the ends of banks of opposing pairs of gripping arms. The flexible gripping elements are positioned to cradle a stacked food product between them with sufficient force to allow the food product to be repositioned and without damaging the integrity of the food product.
A GRIPPER AND GRIPPING ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a gripper assembly for gripping a product. The assembly comprises first and second mounting members; an actuator for causing relative movement between the first and second mounting members; and a plurality of gripper members spaced apart about a primary axis. At least one the gripper members comprise a resiliently deformable body comprising a distal end and first and second connection formations spaced from the distal end and from each other, the first and second connection formations being connected to the first and second mounting members respectively such that an axial component of movement between the first and second mounting members caused by the actuator in use imparts a rotation of the distal end of each gripper member in a direction towards and/or away from the primary axis.
COFFEE MACHINE CONFIGURED TO MONITOR MULTIPLE BEVERAGE ORDERS AT VARIOUS POSITIONS THROUGHOUT THE COFFEE MACHINE
A coffee machine includes a housing that comprises a first platform, a second platform, a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, and an information handling system. The information handling system comprises a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to receive and store a multiple beverage orders in a log and to monitor a position of a first cup and a second cup corresponding to a first beverage order and a second beverage order. The processor is configured to initiate a second sub-step of the second beverage order prior to initiating a second sub-step of the first beverage order in response to determining that a first sub-step of the second beverage order has terminated first and to transmit to the log of the memory that the second cup is at the third designated position for the second sub-step of the second beverage order to be performed.
COFFEE MACHINE WITH ROBOTIC ARMS AND A LIFT TRAVELING BETWEEN PLATFORM LEVELS
A coffee machine includes a first housing and a second housing, wherein the second housing is disposed on top of the first housing. The second housing comprises a first platform, a second platform disposed below the first platform, and a lift disposed at a first side of the second housing and configured to translate between the first platform and the second platform. The second housing further comprises a first robotic arm disposed above the first platform, a second robotic arm disposed between the second platform and the first platform, and a coffee brewing machine actionable to dispense one or more fluids into a cup. The coffee machine further comprises an information handling system comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to actuate the first robotic arm, the second robotic arm, the coffee brewing machine, and the lift.
