Robots
that will Cook for You
If you have a problem with your own cooking, or wanted a chef in your own kitchen, that won’ t be so much of a problem anymore with the world’ s first ever robotic kitchen.
The robotic kitchen features four key integrated kitchen items of robotic arms, an oven, a hob and a touchscreen unit. It can be operated right at your fingertips via a smartphone or via the included touch screen; all you need to do is pull up a recipe and wait for the robot to serve you the food.
It isn’ t a machine that just cooks; it has hands that can cook like a master chef. The hands get its articulation – its speed, its sensitivity, and its movement – by recording the cooking skills of Master Chef Tim Anderson, winner of the BBC Master Chef title, in a demonstration and putting the skills into its system. The hands then replicate, even the pauses in between and the OK gesture in the end, the master chef’ s abilities into its kitchen. No wonder about that, since the nuclear industry and NASA uses the same kind of hands made by the Shadow Robot Company.
If you are concerned with being stabbed by the robot, no need to fret as the robots uses a food processor and limits itself to knives. The kitchen also comes with a protective screen as an additional layer of safety.
This technology, however, will not be available to consumers until the fourth quarter of 2017. It will be supported by an iTunes-style downloadable library of recipes that the robot chef can cook at your own home which are about 2,000 recipes. Just prepare a good amount of $ 75,000 at its first launch.
The robot kitchen is the brainchild of U. K.-based Moley Robotics, which prototype premiered at an international robotics show Hanover Messe. The eureka moment for the idea was of Mark Oleynik in January of 2014. The first patents were filed in the following month; a prototype was built by Moley in September of the same year.

by frequently interacting with him. Earning points will give you access to exclusive applications.
On the first production of these robots last July 2015 in Japan, all units were sold out on the first minute of its sale. Pepper, the humanoid robot costing $ 1,600, was really a big hit!
A big customer, Nestle, is said to equip its 1000 Nescafe sales outlets in Japan with these robot to inform their customers about their products in an amusing way. Definitely, this is an example of how cost effective it would be for businesses to save manpower using these functional and charming robots.

World’ s First Gaming Robot
39
The Consumer Electronics Show this year showcased many gadgets like smartphones, wearables, laptops, and gaming gears. But something unusually exciting was there too! It’ s every boy’ s dream to own it. It blew the minds of all those who were present at the event. It’ s Melamon, the future of toys.
Mekamon is not just a‘ toy’, but much more than that. The robots named Mekamon are really the‘ future of toys’. These four-legged modular fighting robots have been designed to fight, customize, and collect. These robots are also equipped with the infrared technology and Bluetooth. The bots are also fitted with internal compass, which allows them to pinpoint at the opponent. The main idea behind the designing of Mekamon is to bring robot fights to the living room just like in a child’ s fantasies. The company behind the development of Mekamon is UK-based Reach Robotics. The company is currently developing a game, which involves two players engage in robot fight by using their smartphones as controllers. Mekamon can now be handled using the smartphone to attack, aim, and switch weapons.
