1. An integrated robotic kitchen system, comprising:
a robotic kitchen module having a predetermined cooking environment that includes a three-dimensional workspace volume having one or more preset kitchen elements;
one or more robotic end effectors;
one or more robotic arms, each robotic arm in the one or more robotic arms coupled to a respective one in the one or more robotic end effectors, the one or more robotic arms coupled to the robotic kitchen module;
at least one processor; and
a memory for storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
receive an electronic recipe that includes one or more robotic cooking operations for preparing at least a part of a food dish, wherein each robotic cooking operation in the one or more robotic cooking operations has a predetermined duration, and wherein each robotic cooking operation in the one or more robotic cooking operations has been tested in a cooking environment that is identical or substantially identical to the predetermined cooking environment to produce a predetermined functional result with a predetermined fidelity; and
execute the one or more robotic cooking operations in the electronic recipe to operate the one or more robotic arms and the one or more robotic end effectors in the predetermined cooking environment to prepare at least the part of the food dish with a fidelity that is identical or substantially identical to the predetermined fidelity.
