Process layout
This application is a solution that implements a robot for making drip coffee using the RB5-850.
Unlike the coffee commonly found in vending machines, this solution extracts coffee by precisely controlling the water flow with a robotic hand. It allows for the preparation of drip coffee with a consistent taste, and the flavor profile can be varied depending on the programming (teaching).
Project Background and Objective
An unmanned cafe that replaces human work, rather than a vending machine
Providing contactless services in preparation for the COVID-19 era
Extract coffee with the same taste

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Place an order via tablet |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Receive ground beans from the grinder into the dripper |
| STEP 3. | Place the dripper onto the drip stand |
| STEP 4. | Fill the drip pot with hot water |
| STEP 5. | Slowly pour water into the dripper multiple times to extract coffee into the server |
| STEP 6. | Discard any remaining water from the drip pot after brewing |
| STEP 7. | Return the drip pot to the hot water module |
| STEP 8. | Remove and clean the dripper |
| STEP 9. | The customer receives the completed coffee |
