A British company came up with robot chef for households

The new device of Moley Robotics — which was launched at the Hannover Fair, the world’s largest industrial fair — is just the latest example of the next generation of household robots, featuring more advanced technologies than the autonomous vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers already in use.

Within 25 minutes, the robotic gourmet prepared a bowl of crab bisque from a recipe developed by Tim Anderson, a previous winner of BBC’s Masterchef competition. Its mechanical arms, which are mounted above a kitchen surface including a hob and a sink, move up and down as it scrapes butter off a spatula. They even wipe the ladle on the side of the saucepan to prevent drips. (MTI)
