Recommended Use Cases

Noodle Kitchen using Neuromeca Indy7

This cooking robot is a solution introduced for culinary automation utilizing the Neuromeca Indy 7 collaborative robot to prepare noodles, toppings (fried), and broth for noodle dishes such as rice noodles and udon. Even when orders flood in all at once during peak hours, humans can focus on managing ingredients, preparation, and customer service, while the robot handles the cooking tasks that require consistent recipe management. In a situation where the number of solo entrepreneurs is increasing, this solves the labor shortage problem and frees workers from repetitive and poor working environments, thereby preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Robotable presents a new paradigm for food service operations by developing robot solutions applicable to various food service settings beyond just noodle preparation. This project was conducted to create a noodle restaurant that can be operated by a single person, aiming to resolve the labor shortage, reduce labor costs, and improve the working environment in the food service industry.

LG CLOi Guide Robot

This solution is a simulation of facility guidance and advertising using the LG CLOi GuideBot developed by LG Electronics. The LG CLOi GuideBot utilizes two body displays mounted on the robot to manage guidance and advertising. The robot can autonomously navigate within a facility or conduct patrols at night. As an option, a docent function can be used to guide visitors and explain exhibits at museums or exhibitions.

Suseo Living Lab Robot Cafe

It is a coffee robot that automates the entire production process, from payment to brewing and delivery. By utilizing the know-how of professional Barista Robot, it can craft coffee even faster and satisfy a large number of customers.
