Food Service Bots Strut Their Stuff In Tokyo
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 11 of June , 2009 at 1:42 am
The International Food Machinery and Technology Exhibition (FOOMA) opened this week in Tokyo, and robots were serving food every which way. Motoman was there, preparing okonomiyaki, but there were plenty of bots we haven’t seen before, including Baba Tekkosho’s sushi-picking robot which uses an arm from FANUC with an android hand from Scuse.
Also on display was a humanoid robot called Aero Blue that was being used to feed a hungry but presumably somehow disabled person chunks of unidentifiable brown stuff. We’ve got video of all these goings-on after the break, but you should also check out some additional video from Scientific American / Reuters, which includes a crazy little bot going to town with a cucumber slicer at about the minute mark.
