A robot that puts a side dish in a lunch box?

It is a robot that serves to fill a lunch box with a side dish of tempura that appeared in Japan. It is easy for a person to handle, but it is not easy for a robot to pick up a side dish of lunch one by one and put it in a lunch box. The prototype is still in the state, but the robot is placed at the production line position at a position of 130 to 150 cm, and the camera, which acts like a human eye, recognizes the fry and puts it into the lunch box. This is the result of in-depth learning using Google’s published AI framework, Tensor Flow. The company has been conducting demonstration tests since next year and is preparing for actual use from 2020.
