Chef Robotics Advances Bi-Manual Physical AI System for Prep Table Food Assembly Powered by a Food Foundation Model

Chef Robotics, a leader in physical AI for the food industry, today announced the development of a bi-manual physical AI system for prep table food assembly. While today’s Chef robots handle high-volume meal assembly on food manufacturing conveyor lines, this new bi-manual physical AI system will focus on lower-volume, higher-complexity prep-table-based assembly for industries such as ghost kitchens, fast-casual restaurants, airline catering, schools, hospitals, military, prisons, stadiums, corporate dining, and hotels.

With the advent of physical AI and imitation learning, Chef’s AI team is developing a new physical AI system designed to handle meal assembly tasks on prep tables, such as back-of-house burger or burrito assembly. These tasks are lower-volume but higher-complexity than food manufacturing on conveyor lines because a single worker (or robot) must assemble the entire meal, rather than breaking the process down into separate workstations for each ingredient.
