“Building a robot that works in chaotic spaces like kitchens is really challenging. There's just so many components of the software and the hardware which all have to work together.” —David Johnson, CEO
The food service and commercial kitchen industries currently face massive labor shortages—a problem that robots can help solve. Founded as a spin-out from the Draper Laboratory research institute, Dexai Robotics envisions a future in which robots safely and efficiently prepare food, freeing up restaurant staff’s time to focus on customer service.
However, creating a robot that works alongside humans in uncertain environments like kitchens is a complex undertaking. To accelerate development of Alfred, Dexai’s robotic sous chef, the teaem needed a robotics software platform that could:
“Viam enables us to build a robotic system with a lot of flexibility to make decisions later and not lock ourselves into particular architectures right off the bat.” —Brooke Stevens, VP of Software
Alfred’s unique combination of AI, computer vision, and predictive motion control is a gamechanger for food preparation. When building a complex robotic system like Alfred’s, every day of development time saved makes a difference.
Eager to accelerate the process, the Dexai explored Viam as a potential robotics software solution. Viam’s flexible robot architecture enabled Dexai to rapidly iterate. Dexai found it easy to:
“Robotics is still quite immature in how the systems work together. Viam can make all those headaches go away so that you can really accelerate building your robotics system.” —Brooke Stevens, VP of Software
Viam’s modern approach to robotics software turned processes that used to take months of engineers’ time into just days. With the the success of Dexai’s initial test with the platform, the team is enthusiastic about the potential ways to scale with Viam, including:
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
"Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system."
