Who needs to go out for dinner, when you have a tireless master chef waiting at home to prepare a gourmet meal for you, any time, day or night? That’s the premise behind a new invention from Moley Robotics, a tech company based in London. Moley unveiled their new «robochef» prototype on April 14, 2015 at the Hannover Messe technology fair in Germany.
Using hands produced by Shadow Robot Company, the robot chef is capable of producing meals from a collection of over 2,000 recipes, using natural motions learned from Tim Anderson, a human chef and winner of the BBC’s MasterChef competition in 2011. Eventually, home chefs will be able to use a motion capture system to «teach» the robot new recipes, or download them from an iTunes-like service.
