PROJECT TOPICCommercial Services & Consumer Systems
Automated Beverage Dispensing Cell
A beverage automation concept exploring collaborative arm kinematics, peristaltic syrup dispensers, and heat-sealing film capping mechanisms for unattended quick-service beverage kiosks.
Unattended Quick-Service Beverage Production
- ✓Prepares customized beverage recipes with milliliter precision in under 40 seconds.
- ✓Eliminates cup spills using smooth trajectory jerk-limited arm motion profiles.
- ✓Features automated cleaning and sanitize-in-place (CIP) hot-water wash cycles.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
High-volume bubble tea and artisanal coffee shops face severe labor turnover, inconsistent recipe proportions, and long counter lines.
