See moreA fully automated pasta cooking robot, P-Robo, works as a chef of a restaurant in Tokyo. Plating and serving are the only steps that human hands are needed for. In a restaurant where 75% of seats were occupied, a plate of pasta cooked to perfection was brought to each customer within 7 to 9 minutes. Furthermore, customers order food using their phones by scanning the QR code given and this allows to reduce wait time. Considering the fact that it takes about 10 to 15 minutes on average to be served at family restaurants in Japan, P-Robo does its work quite quickly. It might also be interesting to see the technology in this robot to be applied to other robots which cook different dishes. (Jun 2022)
