Abstract:
The application of robotics in the modern food processing sector has be increased in recent years, due to its numerous applications. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of robotics applications in the food processing industry, focusing on a relatively new application area. Robots have the ability to alter food processing and handling, food serving procedures, and palletizing and packing. As a result, factors such as robot dynamics, economical efficiency, kinematics, human-robot interaction, hygiene, safety and protection, operation and maintenance are crucial, and are covered in this review. According to the analysis, the food serving sector is a new prospective field with several research prospects due to the integration of breakthroughs from various technology disciplines. It is expected that greater distribution of 'food-robo' research achievements will promote more cooperation within the research community and contribute to subsequent developments.
