The World’s First Cooking Robot
This is what I want for Christmas. :)
A robot that cooks! It’s unfortunate that the AIC (Artificial Intelligent Cooking) is only at the prototype stage and cooks only Chinese food for now, but yeah, I could use one of these.
The cooking robot was invented by Liu Xinyu, and took him and various institutes four years and $2.5 million to complete. It debuted in the recently-concluded China High Tech Fair. The robot in the photo above is actually another version designed as a waitress. This one works at the Robot Kitchen in Hongkong.
At the demonstration at the high-tech fair, a demonstartor opened AIC’s door, which is shaped like a refrigerator’s door, and put into a box of seasoned ingredients.
He closed the door and selected “Kung Pao Chicken,” a Sichuan dish with chicken cubes, peanuts and dried peppers, from the instrument panel.
Four minutes later the dish was done and an attractive smell wafted out of the machine. Visitors tried the dish, many surprised by its vibrant taste.
A vision of the future, perhaps? Liu’s company, Pansum Technology, is continuing to work on it, hoping to market it to restaurants first and to homes someday.

While the first cooking robot is pretty cool, I think the first suicidal coke-sipping robot is way cooler.
