The research of robot chef has a long history, but the success of the real technological revolution may be that in the western developed countries, especially Japan, people have developed robot chefs who can make Japanese scones, octopus balls, Lamian Noodles and other daily foods. In the near future, robot chefs are expected to replace housewives and cook three meals a day for the whole family.
From June 5438 to October 2006, China invented the world's first China cooking robot-"Echo". It was successfully developed by Yangzhou University College of Tourism Cuisine, Shanghai Jiaotong University Robotics Institute and Shenzhen Fanxing Science and Technology Company for 4 years. Cai, deputy secretary of the College of Tourism Cuisine of Yangzhou University, said that Echo 2.0 can quickly learn and master the cooking skills of excellent chefs, and its "skills" can be compared with those of famous chefs, with completely independent intellectual property rights. As of February 2009, there were more than 150 invention patents. It was recognized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences as "a major invention that will definitely change the way of life of mankind". In 2008, a chef robot was born in the laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland. It can make omelets, and Gruyere cheese is known to be the first choice for omelets. This kind of egg roll looks like a dough boy. In the same year, at the Creative Industry Museum in Osaka, Japan, a robot made octopus balls. From grasping to cooking, the chef's square headscarf was wrapped around its parts and danced proudly.
In June 2009, at the Tokyo International Food Machinery and Technology Expo, a broad-shouldered robot made Japanese biscuits for visitors with a spatula. Another robot pinched sushi with a terrible real hand; Another robot cuts cucumbers at an inhuman speed, and occasionally complains that he is too tired after work and wants to go home.
A month later, in Nagoya, Japan, Famen restaurant with robots as chefs opened. Two huge yellow robotic arms in the store have to prepare as many as 800 bowls of Lamian Noodles a day. During the interval of cooking Lamian Noodles, the robot can also perform arranged comedy actions or practice boxing, which is a small program for customers.
Shopkeeper Gaina Kenji said: "The configuration of our restaurant is: Robot No.1 is the manager, responsible for cooking noodles; Robot 2 is an assistant manager, responsible for preparing soup and ingredients. Human employees have to work for these two robots. "
