Abstract
Automation in food processing has seen a surge of interest due to its
ability to enhance speed, precision, and consistency. This project
focuses on the design of an automated sushi production line, addressing
the growing demand for efficient and customizable food preparation
solutions.This machine takes all the steps in sushi productionfrom
rice spreading to rolling-so as to provide consistency in quality
and considerable savings in time. By inputting user preferences,
it gives an option for personalized service and reduces chances of
human error, which is vital for restaurants and catering services.
The system’s design emphasizes the integration of hardware components,
including stepper motors and DC motors for precise movements,
drivers, H-bridge, and relays for motor control, an Arduino
Mega controller for centralized coordination, and an ESP32 module
with Wi-Fi for app connectivity. The machine executes each step of
sushi preparation sequentially: spreading rice evenly, compressing
the rice onto the seaweed paper, adding fillings, rolling, and cutting.
Rigorous testing is conducted to ensure stable performance,
seamless operation, and adherence to functional specifications.
While existing sushi-making machines require manual intervention
for adding ingredients and lack customization options, this
project introduces full automation combined with user-input features.
Users can select their preferred fillings and sauces, setting
this system apart from other machines on the market. This innovative
approach demonstrates how robotics and automation can
