The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for assembling food products. More particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods for associating foodstuff and liquid with a base. Foodstuff may include food items such as meats, vegetables, cheeses, amongst others. Liquids include those food items that have a low viscosities (e.g. sauces, dressings, oils), high viscosities (e.g. peanut butter, frosting), and anything in between. A base can be anything on which foodstuff or liquid may be associated (e.g. bread, cake, cookies, pizza dough, a bowl in which to place foodstuff).

Food preparation robot and method for use

Food preparation apparatus and method for use

A machine control system comprising one or more modules with non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to store configuration instructions, one or more of the one or more modules operating as a node to control the one or more modules, and the one or more modules orienting into a hierarchy of modules in response to receiving a system objective to produce an output from the system objective by determining a combined operating space of the one or more modules in the hierarchy of modules, selecting an action from the one or more actions in the combined operating space, sending a message to one or more modules to perform the action, and performing the action by activating the one or more components per the configuration instructions.
