뉴로메카 Indy7 (Pay load : 7kg Reach : 800 mm)

This cooking robot is a solution introduced for cooking 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 if orders flood in all at once during peak hours, humans can focus on managing ingredients, preparation, and customer service, while robots handle cooking tasks that require consistent recipe management. With the rise of one-person businesses, 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 in addition to noodle cooking tasks.

This project was carried out to create a noodle restaurant that can be operated by a single person, in order to resolve the labor shortage, reduce labor costs, and improve the working environment in the food service industry.

Recommended Use Cases

Barista Robot Using UR5e (Robot Star)

This application is a solution that implements a robot Barista Robot using the UR5e. Unlike the vending machine-style coffee automation commonly found on the market, this solution replaces all human tasks with robots, making it suitable for operating a cafe with a minimal workforce. By having the robot extract the beans, it is possible to maintain a consistent quantity and always produce coffee with the same taste.

Serving Robots PuduBot, BellaBot, NOLS365 Edition

This is a case where Big Wave Robotics (Marosol) resolved a problem for NOLS365, a restaurant operator at the Yeoju Expo, and assisted with the introduction of serving robots. By installing robots capable of serving beverages and food within a restaurant spanning over 200 pyeong, the company achieved greater operational efficiency and service, thereby capturing the satisfaction of both staff and customers.

Neuromeka Indy7 at Robert Chicken Gangnam Store No. 2

This chicken robot is a cooking automation solution suitable for chicken franchises, allowing a single owner to operate it even during peak delivery hours. Under this system, the owner handles chicken loading and packaging upon receiving an order, while automated devices, including the robot, perform the battering and frying. This allows store employees (owners) to focus more on operations rather than cooking, and ensures consistent cooking and delivery while maintaining uniform taste and quality even during busy peak times, resulting in high customer satisfaction. Through continuous quality improvements, you can experience even more refined and cleaner-tasting chicken at the Gangnam Unit 2.
