Researchers have trained a robotic ‘chef’ to watch and learn from cooking videos, and recreate the dish itself.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, programmed their robotic chef with a ‘cookbook’ of eight simple salad recipes. After watching a video of a human demonstrating one of the recipes, the robot was able to identify which recipe was being prepared and make it.
In addition, the videos helped the robot incrementally add to its cookbook. At the end of the experiment, the robot came up with a ninth recipe on its own. Their results, reported in the journal IEEE Access, demonstrate how video content can be a valuable and rich source of data for automated food production, and could enable easier and cheaper deployment of robot chefs.
Well, the idea of a robotic chef certainly isn't new (we've had those for several years now) - but, this is the first time I've heard of one learning recipes from watching videos!
Granted, there's no way it's going to be able to do it with the same level of precision as a human chef - but I'm guessing that won't take too long. Should chefs be worried about their jobs yet
