HUMANS Could Disappear from Restaurant Kitchens as Robots Take Over
Companies are launching AI robot chefs that can prepare and cook food independently, potentially replacing human chefs in the kitchen. Botinkit, a digital kitchen solutions company, has created a robot that can cook a variety of dishes with little to no human intervention. The robot, featuring a silver and grey design, has a touch-screen interface where users can select a dish and cooking method. Once the recipe is uploaded, the robot takes over, preparing the meal with precision and consistency.
The robot can wash up, follow recipes, and perform various cooking tasks such as stir-frying, stewing, boiling, frying, and making salads. It can also dispense seasoning and sauces automatically during the cooking process. Botinkit claims that its robots can reduce labor costs by 30% and food and seasoning waste by 10%.
The company operates in 19 countries, with Asia being its biggest market. Botinkit’s CEO, Chen Rui, believes that robotic kitchens will become the norm in the next decade, with humans playing a limited role in recipe creation and adding personal touches to dishes at the final stage. The company’s aim is not to replace human chefs entirely, but to help reduce operating costs and increase efficiency.
Botinkit’s products are available for purchase through inquiries on the company website. The company’s vision is to provide high-quality food in large quantities without compromising on profitability, and to cater to different dietary needs and preferences. As the technology advances, it’s likely that we’ll see more restaurants and food establishments adopting AI robot chefs, potentially changing the face of the culinary industry forever.
