THEY’VE got ones that clean, and others that pour drinks, so it was only a matter of time before Japanese inventors came up with robots that can cook.
Various prototype robo-chefs showed off their cooking skills at the International Food Machineryand Technology Expo in Tokyo this week, flipping okonomiyaki – Japanese pancakes – serving sushi and slicing vegetables.
“We all know that robots can be very useful. We want to take that utility out of the factory so that they can be used elsewhere,” said Narito Hosomi, president of Toyo Riki, manufacturers of the pancake-cooking robot.

Indeed the robot with the gerkin is questionable, but this technology is exciting.
