Meal Monitor

Checks the salt and saline concentration in your food!

Harmful digestive diseases and medical conditions can prevent many of the population from eating large amounts of salt, saline, and other ionized particles in their food. With Meal Monitor, the GoPiGo3 robot uses its sensors to detect concentrations of these substances in your food—making sure that breakfast, lunch and dinner are good to GoPiGO!

One of these sensors will be the camera sensor, which will pick up on certain dyes used in salts and other ionized foods that deviate from the composition of the mixture. By programming the GoPiGo3 camera sensor to detect certain colors, trial runs with dyed salt will be performed.

Red Substance-Kosher Salt
Blue Substance-Flake Salt
Yellow Substance-Sea Salt

The camera is trained to pick up on certain colors and emit a small beep that acts as an alarm to inform whoever is dining that their food contains high levels of salt. The robot’s primary mechanism is the safety of the diner.
