System and/or method for robotic foodstuff assembly
The foodstuff assembly system can include: a robot arm, a frame, a set of foodstuff bins, a sensor suite, a set of food utensils, and a computing system. The system can optionally include: a container management system, a human machine interface (HMI). However, the foodstuff assembly system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to enable picking of foodstuff from a set of foodstuff bins and placement into a container (such as a bowl, tray, or other foodstuff receptacle). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate transferal of bulk material (e.g., bulk foodstuff) into containers, such as containers moving along a conveyor line.
The method can include: sampling images of a conveyor region S110; determining a set of patches S120; estimating a displacement for each patch S130; estimating a conveyor motion parameter(s) based on the patch displacement S140; and optionally performing an action based on the conveyor motion parameter S150. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method S100 functions to estimate a set of conveyor motion parameters (e.g., conveyor speed). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to enable dynamic control of an independent robotic assembly system(s) to accommodate conveyor motion changes.
The method S100 can include: providing bowls within the workspace based on the assembly context S105; sampling sensor data for the workspace S110; detecting bowls based on the sensor data S120; determining a labeled training dataset S130; and training a classifier for the assembly context S140. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements.
