Online Desk: Technology has revolutionized global networking, communication and traditional work procedures. Then came the Internet of Things or IoT which did the same all over again. In recent years the advancement of AI and robotic technology has reduced many workloads in our day-to-day life. Take cooking for example. Not all people enjoy cooking due to lack of time, skill, or interest. Now, what if we told you, you could get a robot to cook for you? Not just one dish but hundreds of them, all the while maintaining the exact taste every single time. Welcome to the age of AI robot chefs!

Benefits of AI chefs and automated cooking robots 

Besides taking up the cooking challenge, AI robot chefs are also streamlining the process of food preparations. It’s making life easier with one less thing to worry about. For the culinary industry, AI robots are a game changer considering the efficiency they bring to the table.

To sum up the benefits, AI and automated cooking robots can

– solve the understaffing problem

– bring smart kitchen collaboration

– avoid the risk of food contamination

– minimize food waste.

Best AI Robot Chefs of 2023 

Most AI chefs today are made for industrial-scale operations. The main aim is to reduce human interaction and make the process of large-scale cooking easier. While a good number of AI cooking robots are still in the development stages, only a few have moved to industrial operations. Here’s our pick of the most advanced AI robot chefs operating in 2023.

Flippy 2: The AI-powered frying chef 

Flippy 2 is the successor of Flippy, a robotic fry cook chef from Miso Robotics based in the USA. The new iteration brings AI integration to the already successful Flippy. And the results are incredible, to say the least.

Flippy 2 is designed for industry-grade frying solutions. The robot uses separate baskets to fry different items at different temperatures. In this robot, the manufacturer has utilized a new feature called the AutoBin technology. This mechanism has been especially designed for low-volume specialty foods that cannot be fried in a large batch. For example, onion rings. The AutoBin automatically can efficiently monitor the raw material, frying size, and time. It can also decide the hot-holding time to wick away the extra oil after frying.

Flippy 2 has undoubtedly reduced human contact ranging from placing the raw foods in the basket to preparing served portions. The closed-loop system increases productivity by 30% as claimed by Miso Robotics.

Nosh by Euphotic Lab: Automated cooking robot 

Healthy home food is just a NOSH away” – that’s the tagline of Euphotic Lab’s home cooking solution. What is interesting about Nosh is that its design has nothing like what we generally see in a robot chef. Usually, the robot chefs are large in shape bearing bulky robotic arms to move around stuff. Nosh is an automated robot chef featuring the design and size of a microwave oven.
