We propose a cooking system that operates in an open environment. The system cooks a meal by pouring various ingredients into a boiling pot on an induction heating cooker and adjusts the heating strength according to the user's instructions. We then describe how it successfully functions in a shared space with the user. First, we use small mobile robots instead of built-in arms to save space, improve flexibility and increase safety. Second, we use detachable visual markers to allow the user to easily configure the real-world environment. Third, we provide a graphical user interface to display detailed cooking instructions to the user. We hope insights obtained in this experiment will be useful for the design of other household systems in the future.

  • Nice work.. reminds me of my first engineering design projects.

  • CALL ME LAZY ALL YOU WANT I'D AUTOMATE YOU"RE LIFE BITCH!!

  • thumbs up if u was waiting to see an asian guy !

  • Бред

  • why not use cooky to make miso soup

    answer

    because no one knows what miso soup is

  • These robots would be much cooler with flamethrowers and/or missile launchers.

  • miso soup isn't eaten with chopsticks!
