The robot system will consist of several modules and the industrial robot. Modules for dispensing mint leaves, sugar, and lime squeezers have already been developed. Developing individual modules helps to reduce complexity and gain more control over the development process.

Mint-Modul

The project's objective was to engineer a module capable of dispensing mint leaves automatically for Mojito preparation, with a primary focus on concept development. The methodology involved analyzing the Mojito production process, evaluating requirements, drafting concepts, conducting a proof of concept, and implementing the system. Various approaches were tested, including mechanical gripping mechanisms, gravimetric methods, and the use of air and water flows. Ultimately, a concept utilizing a water vortex with a permeable conveyor belt was selected. The developed system demonstrated high reliability and precision in mint leaf dispensation during the testing phase, consistently delivering a defined quantity of mint leaves. The system proved to be food-safe and integrable into the overall Mojito robot system. The Project concludes with recommendations for improvement and the successful development of the mint subsystem. Through innovative approaches and meticulous implementation, a functional, efficient, and safe module was realized for the Mojito robot bartender.
