I was unable to attend CES this year, and as
such, I missed a bunch of robot stuff. LG showed off a mock restaurant with a robot
cooking food and making pourover coffee. Samsung demoed a concept robot that was billed as an “extra set of hands” in the kitchen that could grab items, pour oil and even wield a knife.
IRobot, maker of the Roomba vacuum
announced it too was developing robotic arms to load dishes or carry food to the table.
And of course, who could forget the robot
that makes raclette melted cheese.
There are other companies out there looking to do
much the same with robot arms. Sony
has showed off its multitasking kitchen robot vision of the future before, and Moley has been touting this type of technology for years now.
Again, I wasn’t at CES, so I did not see these robots in action, but my inital
response to robot arms swerving
around a kitchen is why? Are these robotic
ambitions the best way to gain greater convenience in the kitchen, or do they
just make things more complicated?
