Introduction

This document describes the system architecture and design principles of the Cocktail Machine. The system is a fully automated, mechatronic beverage dispenser designed to mix cocktails from various raw ingredients (spirits, juices, syrups) precisely and reliably based on predefined recipes.

A defining characteristic of this project is its highly modular architecture. Instead of a monolithic design, the system is strictly divided into a central orchestration unit and autonomous dispensing modules. This approach abstracts the complexity of fluid management and hardware control from the user interface, resulting in a highly scalable and maintainable system.

This documentation serves as the central reference point for hardware design, software development, protocol definition, and future maintenance.
