If
you spent Thanksgiving slaving over a hot stove, you might be glad to know
that researchers are developing some robotic kitchen assistants that could someday do
the hard work for you.
Here
is a roundup of robots designed to help humans with food preparation. No
turkey-prepping robots (yet), but these bots can prepare sushi,
pancakes, even ramen noodles.
At this year's FOOMA International Food Machinery and Technology Exhibition
in Tokyo, a "sushi robot" showed off its food-handling skills, gently
grasping raw fish without squishing it. The robot is essentially an
industrial robotic arm with a silicone hand attached to the end.
At the same conference, a Japanese-pancake-flipping robot with
voice-recognition was able to take orders and use its 15 joints brush
oil, knead dough, add spices, flip the pancakes and serve them.
In a noodle restaurant in Japan, a robotic chef can prepare and serve 80 bowls of ramen noodles on a busy day.
This robotic system stacks 400 pancakes per minute.
