The systemcan include a robotic assembly systemand a set of barriers. The robotic assembly system can include a robot arm, a frame, an optional utensil, an optional bin, and/or any other suitable components. However, the systemcan additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The systemfunctions to facilitate robotic assembly of items/ingredients (e.g., in an assembly line environment). Additionally or alternatively, the systemcan function to guard robotic assembly components during operation. Additionally or alternatively, the systemcan function to mitigate the influence of a robotic assembly system on surrounding workers (e.g., in an assembly line environment).

Robotic system and/or method

Foodstuff utensil

A method can include: receiving imaging data; identifying containers using an object detector; scheduling insertion based on the identified containers; and optionally performing an action based on a scheduled insertion. However, the method can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method functions to schedule insertion for a robotic system (e.g., ingredient insertion of a robotic foodstuff assembly module). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate execution of a dynamic insertion strategy; and/or facilitate independent operation of a plurality of robotic assembly modules along a conveyor line.

System and/or method of cooperative dynamic insertion scheduling of independent agents

The foodstuff assembly system can include: a robot arm, a frame, a set of foodstuff bins, a sensor suite, a set of food utensils, and a computing system. The system can optionally include: a container management system, a human machine interface (HMI). However, the foodstuff assembly systemcan additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to enable picking of foodstuff from a set of foodstuff bins and placement into a container (such as a bowl, tray, or other foodstuff receptacle). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate transferal of bulk material (e.g., bulk foodstuff) into containers, such as containers moving along a conveyor line.
