Chinese Robot Cook Makes More Than Ramen

This innovatively titled “Food Robot,” created by retired Beijing professor Liu Changfa, is a 5 foot tall computerized kitchen, capable of executing hundreds or thousands of recipes. It has a pot and an induction cooker in its belly (how appropriate), and a touchscreen in its chest that’s programmable by a child. Just tell the robot what you want, and it’ll whip it up using its robotic arm in some unspecified manner. “It would take only a few minutes for the computer-based robot to cook a delicious meal for me with well-prepared foods, vegetables and meats,” Changfa says. But that makes me wonder exactly what the robot is capable of… If it just cooks, that’s not such a big deal, because (as far as I can tell from microwaving corn dogs, which is about the limit of my skills in the kitchen) the real chore of cooking comes from the prep and the clean up. Whatever the specific methodology employed, though, the robot apparently does a good job. Taste testers in Changping say: “all the foods are as delicious as that made by a well-trained chef.” Food Robot will be going to China’s national invention contest this month to try to make a tasty impression on commercial producers.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
