Food Manipulation Technology: A Soft Robotics Approach

Wang and Hirai draw on their extensive experience to introduce recent technological advances in soft robotics for food manipulation and discuss their practical applications in the food preparation industry. They also describe food modeling and categorization for the purpose of robotic handling.

Food manipulation is common in restaurants, kitchens, and food factories, but it currently largely relies on humans because of the lack of effective robotic systems. This book therefore explains recen...
