The Food Robot created by retired professor Liu Changfa is currently just a prototype, but definitely has potential to be sold mainstream. The robot stands 5 feet tall. It contains a computer in it’s leg which users can program new recipes. The torso is comprised of a pot, induction cooker, and the upper chest houses the screen. Food Robot also has an arm to help with sturring. So far 200+ meals have been tested by humans and all have said it doesn’t taste any different than if made by hand. I would be interested in trying a meal created by this robot. It could be pretty useful coming home from a long day at work and just throwing some food in the bot. Mean while you just kick back and relax.
HAL 9000 is a robot created by MIT Media Labs. This robot was created to help users figure out the best plan to lose weight. It comes up with the weight loss plan based upon information such as exercise and eating habits the user inputs through a touch screen. The head has a camera built-in the forehead for facial tracking and the eyes follow the users face for eye contact. The MIT Media Labs website has a video of HAL in action.
