Background:

Mezli is a fully autonomous robotic restaurant based in San Francisco, CA. As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, I worked in biweekly sprints to design, assemble, and test components for the restaurant.

Problem:

The challenge was to develop a system that could effectively dispense drinks and sides to customers using food-grade materials. Additionally, we needed to create mechanisms that could reliably dispense ingredients and drinks with linear motion systems.

Solution:

To solve this problem, I designed and prototyped mechanisms using food-grade materials. I also manufactured parts using laser cutting, SLA 3D printing, and power tools. To ensure reliability of the linear motion systems, I assembled and debugged them.

Impact:

Successfully designed and prototyped mechanisms to dispense drinks and sides to customers using food-grade materials
Manufactured parts using laser cutting, SLA 3D printing, and power tools
Assembled and debugged linear motion systems to dispense ingredients and drinks
