Not Iron Chef...but Robo-Chef
By Technology Correspodent Matthew Tsang
There's a new kind of Iron Chef in town, and this one is actually made of metal.
At the International Food Machinery and Technology Expo in Tokyo, a handful of "Robo-chefs" were on display flipping pancakes and chopping vegetables for the audiences:
The robots included one that made Japanese pancakes and another which served sushi with a life-like arm. There was also a robot which came in the form of a table on wheels and served drinks and food, and another which chopped vegetables at great speed.
Don't fret Chefs, these robots mostly act as assistants during stressful rush hours, rather than replacements. Also, most of these robots were only for demonstration, and not yet for sale. Be sure to check out the video under the cut!
