In the 20th Century we have pretty much everything we need in a kitchen and therefore there isn't too much need for robotics. One common concept of the future is robots that could assist in the making of food, but that would just take the fun away wouldn't it. However, one thing you can never have enough of is fresh herbs/vegetables, especially out of season. I present to you the GE GROWR360 concept. The GROWR360 is a climate controllable, fully automated, sealed, hydroponics growing box that can grow most herbs/vegetables throughout the year. Wait there's more, the GROWR360 uses video analytics and a 5-axis robotic arm fitted with rotary interchangeable tools mounted on a 2-axis CNC-coordinated chassis to do all the work for you. The GROWR360 will fit modern homes as it is a sleek design consisting of a high clarity Acrylic tank with white and black ABS housings and chrome plated metal parts. And the best part, it is really water efficient! Here is how it works: From seeding to harvesting as little as one basil leaf, with just the click of a button the GROWR360 will do it for you. The main unit is fitted with a touch screen control panel that allows the user to select anything from planting new seeds into empty growing slots to harvesting a specific amount of something. The unit’s software has predefined settings for planting, growing and harvesting conditions for specific plants. The unit makes use of the bubbling bucket hydroponic system as it accommodates the growing of most Herbs and vegetables, nutrient content in the water is carefully calculated to suit the plants being grown. For this CAD design the whole growing tray acts as one bucket with multiple plant nets, but the concept could be customised to accommodate separate growing buckets with different watering/nutrition settings. Nutrition concentrates are stored in refillable pods within the main control unit and the system is directly connected to the waterline, even though it is very efficient on water usage. Seeds are manually inserted into a tray next to the dispenser. The system is suited with full spectrum growing lights (Not incorporated in renders), as well as rain simulating sprinklers (even though it is a hydroponic system, the plants need ‘rain’ on their leaves in order to simulate natural growing conditions, this water is not filled with additional nutrients and drains back into the bucket system. This will also help clean the system). The GROWR360 can also regulate pressure within the tank to be able to grow high altitude plants such as coffee plants, and a double seal door is used to maintain pressure when a harvest is dispensed. Along with that the system also has a CO2 gas tank to help assist altitude simulation/speed up certain growing times, the system uses very little of this and therefore it lasts very long. Of course the system will also have to be temperature controlled to ensure accurate simulation. Additional features such as roasters or dryers can be added to the control unit for plants such as coffee, Organum, etc. A lot of herbs will grow well in a hydroponic setting. Some of the better ones include anise, basil, catnip, chamomile, chives, cilantro, coriander, dill, fennel, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme. Example for basic system command: The user made the GROWR360 plant basil plants some time ago and as the user is cooking, he/she requires a single fresh basil leaf. The user then uses the touch interface to select say one basil leaf, the GROWR360 then moves the robotic arm to where it planted the basil, does video analytics to determine the position of a fully grown fresh leave as well as where to cut it's stem, cuts it and dispenses it through the dispensing tray. As this method is much more water efficient and convenient than other growing methods, this or simpler versions thereof might be where the future kitchen robotics is going.
