01Challenge

Creative food design — decorations, patterns and shaped deposits — is often manual, difficult to reproduce and hard to connect to digital design tools. The challenge is to translate a digital design into precise, repeatable physical deposition of edible materials.

02Approach

  1. 01Define a motion architecture suited to accurate positioning over a working surface.
  2. 02Engineer a controlled deposition system for materials with different flow behaviour.
  3. 03Build a digital workflow that converts a design file into robot motion and dosing commands.
  4. 04Iterate through prototypes to evaluate motion, deposition and usability.

03Verified outcomes

No verified outcomes have been published for this project yet. Results will be added here once they have been tested and approved for publication.
