A key challenge in robotic food manipulation is modeling the material properties of diverse and deformable food items. We propose using a multimodal sensory approach to interact and play with food that facilitates the ability to distinguish these properties across food items. First, we use a robotic arm and an array of sensors, which are synchronized using ROS, to collect a diverse dataset consisting of 21 unique food items with varying slices and properties. Afterwards, we learn visual embedding networks that utilize a combination of proprioceptive, audio, and visual data to encode similarities among food items using a triplet loss formulation. Our evaluations show that embeddings learned through interactions can successfully increase performance in a wide range of material and shape classification tasks. We envision that these learned embeddings can be utilized as a basis for planning and selecting optimal parameters for more material-aware robotic food manipulation skills. Furthermore, we hope to stimulate further innovations in the field of food robotics by sharing this food playing dataset with the research community.
An important aspect of health monitoring is effective logging of food consumption. This can help management of diet-related diseases like obesity, diabetes, and even cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, food logging can help fitness enthusiasts, and pe
One third of food produced in the world for human consumption -- approximately 1.3 billion tons -- is lost or wasted every year. By classifying food waste of individual consumers and raising awareness of the measures, avoidable food waste can be sign
In the past decade, digital technologies have started to profoundly influence healthcare systems. Digital self-tracking has facilitated more precise epidemiological studies, and in the field of nutritional epidemiology, mobile apps have the potential
Background: The deployment of various networks (e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile networks) and databases (e.g., nutrition tables and food compositional databases) in the food system generates massive information silos due to the well-known d
Food image classification is challenging for real-world applications since existing methods require static datasets for training and are not capable of learning from sequentially available new food images. Online continual learning aims to learn new
