Cooking with Robots: Designing a Household System Working in Open Environments - ACM CHI 2010

We propose a cooking system that operates in an open environment. The system cooks a meal by pouring various ingredients into a boiling pot on an induction heating cooker and adjusts the heating strength according to the user's instructions. We then describe how it successfully functions in a shared space with the user. First, we use small mobile robots instead of built-in arms to save space, improve flexibility and increase safety. Second, we use detachable visual markers to allow the user to easily configure the real-world environment. Third, we provide a graphical user interface to display detailed cooking instructions to the user. We hope insights obtained in this experiment will be useful for the design of other household systems in the future.

Service robot HoLLiE mixes cocktails
Published on Jul 22, 2015
Quote:
Service robots in the field – a robot and two barkeepers successfully mix cocktails as a cooperative human-robot team at the Stallwachter-Party 2015 in Berlin.
Robot HoLLiE uses its two anthropomorphic 5-Finger-Hands (SCHUNK SVH) to grasp cocktail glasses and fill them with various ingredients. The left and right robot-arms moved independently.
During the Stallwachter-Party in Berlin on 9 July 2015, HoLLiE mixed two different cocktails: “Bramble Fizz”, a gin based fruit cocktail, and “digit.HoLLiE”, a whisky long drink with lemonade. The recipes were created by Gregor Scholl, Phum Sila-Trakoon and the team from the bar “Le Croco Blue” in Berlin. HoLLiE assisted the human barkeeper colleagues for more than 7.5 hours and mixed more than 280 cocktails. Thanks to the use of fast and reliable industrial light-weight arms and an improved motion control system, some cocktails were ready after 61 seconds.
The guests ordered their drinks via tablet-computer. Then, the robot mixed the cocktails and informed the guests when the ordered cocktails were ready. Besides, HoLLiE asked its barkeeper colleagues for help when there were no more empty glasses or ingredients.
Besides the great taste of the cocktails, the human-like 5-Finger-Hands definitely were a highlight of the demonstration. HoLLiE demonstrated that a robot can successfully perform dexterous manipulation tasks in a complex and difficult environment that is originally not suited for robots. Researchers at the FZI had developed the drivers for the SVH robot hand, which reliably grasped even wet glasses in spite of smaller drops of liquid on its fingers.

PR2 robot clears dinner table - Stanford University
Uploaded on Dec 13, 2011
Quote:
This project was done by Abhishek Sharma, Bharath Bhat and Rohan Kamath at the AI Lab, Stanford University in Autumn 2011.
In this project we use a Microsoft Kinect sensor mounted on top of the PR2 robot (Willow Garage Inc.) to obtain RGB and depth images of table top objects. Further, the algorithm
attempts to recognize general dining table objects and locate their positions. Finally, we make the robot pick up the objects and place them in separate boxes based on their type.
We would like to express our gratitude to Ellen Klingbeil and Samir Menon from the Stanford AI Lab for their help and guidance during the project.

Robot Learns to Flip Pancakes
Uploaded on Jul 26, 2010
Quote:
Pancake day special!
The video shows a Barrett WAM robot learning to flip pancakes by reinforcement learning. The motion is encoded in a mixture of basis force fields through an extension of Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) that represents the synergies across the different variables through stiffness matrices. An Inverse Dynamics controller with variable stiffness is used for reproduction.
For pancake day special, the skill is first demonstrated via kinesthetic teaching, and then refined by Policy learning by Weighting Exploration with the Returns (PoWER) algorithm. After 50 trials, the robot learns that the first part of the task requires a stiff behavior to throw the pancake in the air, while the second part requires the hand to be compliant in order to catch the pancake without having it bounced off the pan.

Hot Pot Restaurant in Southwest China Employs Robot Waitresses
Published on Nov 5, 2015
Quote:
A hot pot restaurant in southwest China's Chongqing, a city renowned for its spicy cuisine particularly the hot pot, has employed two robots as waitresses to attract customers.
The two robots work efficiently despite relatively rigid movement. The shorter one speaks mandarin while the taller one speaks Chongqing dialect.
The robots are liked by many customers.
"We think the robot waitresses are fashionable. And they serve well. We and our kids are happy to see them," said a customer.
"I like the taller girl who speaks Chongqing dialect. Her character is like a real Chongqing girl who is straightforward, upright and pleasant," said another customer.

Meet Turi
November 9, 2015
Quote:
Hailing from Kate, Nat and Michael’s collective imagination, an arrogantly self-absorbed, self proclaimed comedian named Turi came with one plan; to initiate global domination and become an evil robot overlord.
Observing humans in their natural habitat, the local watering hole, Turi determined that the bar environment was the easiest point of social infiltration in order to rule the world.
Thus Turi raised an army in the form of robotic industrial arms upgraded into the ultimate cocktail makers. Boldly leading from the front, Turi, disguised as a charming, cute little bar manager aims to become your local evil robot overlord, lulling you into its service, mindlessly heeding to its every beck and call.
That said, Turi's robots do make one heck of an espresso martini.

We had a bar inside the KUKA booth at the China International Industry Fair 2015, but this wasn’t just any bar. In addition to nice hand-made coffee and some finger foods, our bar had KUKA’s LBR iiwa serving up some tasty German beer for our booth attendees. Not only did this show off LBR iiwa’s very serious ability to work safely next to humans and accomplish interesting tasks, it led to some fun reactions from attendees and beer drinkers alike.
