This video demonstrates one of our student capstone projects in the Robotics/automation classes. Our mobile LR-200iC robot cell was adapted to dispense 12 ounce cups of coffee at the annual WCC Custom Cars and Bikes show (2012). The customer can choose from several types of coffee, tea, apple cider, or hot cocoa, then have the robot fetch the order. Afterwards the robot disposes of the spent beverage cartidge and prepares for the next order.
Robot: Fanuc ArcMate 100i (M-6i), three quantity
PLC control: Allen Bradley SLC 5/04
Other equipment: Bosch motorized conveyor
This workcell was built by students in our Robotics-III class of Fall 2012.
