Meet Zippy, the Robotic Chef:

- Used in kitchens by Michelin-star chefs - Trained on over 5 million recipes - Learns new recipes from a single demonstration - Easy to integrate into commercial kitchens

Zippy’s system uses multi-modal perception and heat transfer modeling to adapt to ingredient and appliance variations, similar to how an expert chef would. It operates with a mix of autonomy and remote control to handle new scenarios and improve over time.

An Iron Chef!

Seems more for fast food than Michelin star...

Instead of designing robots to mimic human cooks—stirring and adding ingredients to traditional pans on conventional stoves—it would make more sense to transform the entire kitchen, or at least key components of it, into an automated system built for efficiency.

That's an idea.

I was thinking about something along the lines of a robot assembly line where everything down to pots, pans, utensils, burners/ovens, and food storage containers were adapted to automation.

I have always thought the idea of a human-like robot hovering over rather conventional stove was a gimmick. Some robots need to be more like machines than humans.

I am guessing that this is just a step toward that very end.

I can’t imagine a robot chef coming out and discussing my meal with me.

If it did I don’t think it would have the same impact.

I also can’t see a robot chef going to the farmer’s market every day to select the fruit and vegetables for that evenings selections.

Sure, there will be niche markets for stuff like that, as there is now. How many restaurants are run like that now? how often do you actually go to one of those places?

Chef’s cook to provide what was ordered. Chef’s don’t provide mass produced food they insist must be eaten

The chef would still oversee the kitchen, but AI-powered robots could handle certain decisions—like timing, portioning, or prep—essentially acting as advanced, autonomous food processors rather than creative cooks.

Well, I am not wealthy but one place I go to once a month or so, the chef does come out a talk with us on occasion and sources most of his meats and vegetables locally.

They have a fairly limited menu which keeps cost down and prices reasonable.

You'd love the food, or else.

Compliments to the chef, now!

Looks like a waste of design effort.

I may get a cook one day but she WILL NOT be called Zippy.
