Abstract

An automated food system is provided that includes a vertically movable transfer module having an arm assembly with articulating arms and an end effector for transporting food items between storage, preparation, and cooking stations. The arm assembly is configured to extend laterally beyond the module frame and into a rack or adjacent station to retrieve or place items. A sensor mounted on the arm assembly detects spatial features of food items, enabling a processor to calculate location and size and control precise movement of the end effector. The system facilitates item transfer using coordinated vertical and planar motion based on sensor input.
