Robotic arms, by virtue of their versatility, find extensive usage in industry-level applications; from mechanical operations like welding and assembling to painting and sorting. Capitalizing on their relative absence in the household domain, and the increasing pervasiveness of domestic automation, this paper seeks to propose a robot arm designed for carrying out operations involved in independently cooking a wide variety of food. The design, which aims to minimize cost while maximizing versatility; has been explained thoroughly, including choice of materials, degrees of freedom, actuators, linkage cross-sections, and sensors. The purview of necessary elementary motions is narrowed down by targeting specific recipes that the arm will be expected to cook. Further, a mechanism for dispensing appropriately proportioned ingredients has also been described, including bulk matter like vegetables as well as minor …
