An update to my last post on the “Robo-chef”: It looks like a small noodle shop in Nagoya Japan has been utilizing the skills of a robot to serve freshly prepared food for diners. The robotic arms make ramen noodles from scratch, from flour and water to the finished, pork broth noodle soup with garnishes. It’s really quite amazing!

Opened by Kenju Nagaya, the president of Aisei (a local robot manufacturer), he explains that “The benefits of using robots as ramen chefs include the accuracy of timing in boiling noodles, precise movements in adding toppings and consistency in the taste and temperature of the soup,”. Diners say they cannot taste the difference between a Robot-cooked ramen to one made by real human chefs.
