Quote'World's first' robot kitchen cooks for visitors at CES Asia in Shanghai

Visitors to the inaugural Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Asia in Shanghai on Monday were cooked food by a robotic kitchen, the first of its kind according to its creators.

Designed by London-based Moley Robotics, the automated kitchen consists of two large robotic arms which can construct dishes based on an iTunes-like library of recipes. The arms were designed by the Shadow Robot company, which also provides technologies to NASA, and consist of 20 motors, 24 joints and 129 sensors allowing them to mimic the movements and dexterity of human hands.

Chef Tim Anderson, a former winner of the BBC's Masterchef competition, acted as a recipe consultant, developing the crab bisque dish that was served to visitors at CES Asia.

"I chose crab bisque as a dish because it's a real challenge for human chef to make well, never mind a machine," Anderson said.

"If it can cook a bisque, it can do stir-fries and we're looking forward to teaching it many more recipes in the months to come."

15.00 per hr plus benefits at what point does automation become practicable? And the customer doesn't have to worry about some disgruntled employee spitting in their burger!

But where will all the illegals work?

The auto workers Union did the same thing by raising the cost of labor to the point it was cost effective to automate and cut back on parole! The same thing will happen in the burger joints! The Consumer will probably get a better burger with every one cooked to the same internal temp. and each sandwich built identical to the last!

The libs are pricing themselves out of a job...
They will just blame Bush.

This was coming anyway! They are just speeding up the process!!

And I'm certain the robot burger-flipper will speak English as well!

So we will not have to "Press One For English".      Thanks PR
