Description

Youngjin Kim and Sangoh Kim build, in a 2024 paper, a robot system that roasts coffee by watching the beans and smelling the roast as it goes. Their Food Process Robot Intelligent System pairs a three-dimensional printed six-axis arm with a vision network. The network classifies beans inside the roaster and steers it in real time, dodging obstacles and empty spots. Gas readings join image data to judge how dark the roast has become.

Trials compared a preliminary batch with a validation batch as roast intensity rose. Both showed the same pattern: more weight loss, a stronger gas signal shift, and dimmer bean pixels. The authors say the system controls roast degree with unusual precision for an automated setup. They plan to carry the design into other food processes, toward a general kitchen automation platform.
