Robot Chef with Infinite Cooking Capabilities to Take Over the Kitchen in 2017

A robotic chef with a base library of 2,000 recipes is set to go on sale in 2017, with its designers claiming that it could revolutionize the food industry and change the kitchen of the future.

Created by Moley Robotics, the pair of robot arms use 20 motors, 24 joints and 129 sensors in order to emulate human gestures, allowing it to create a number of recipes from scratch, with an infinite potential for it to learn more.

The robotic chef works within the confines of a specially constructed kitchen, enabling it to “memorize” the placement of utensils and food products. While the average home will obviously have trouble affording this automated kitchen, it represents what could be a huge step towards the future of cooking.

Operated using either a smartphone or tablet, all the user has to do in order to get the robot chef to start cooking is to send it a notification containing a recipe using its dedicated app. The app contains all the recipes the robot is capable of producing, and it is the hope of its creators that this library will be expanded with new dishes and instructions.

With it having already been in development for two years, having been created 3D technology that motion-captured the movements of someone cooking each dish in the robot’s recipe library, by 2017 the robot chef will become much more than a tantalising demonstration of the future, instead inserting itself into the homes of those who can afford its inevitably expensive price tag. For the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait until this technology becomes the standard for kitchens worldwide. Hopefully that’ll be the case within our lifetime.
