Motoman SDA10 Cooks its Way to the Kitchen

Robots are among the man’s fascinating creations which have made life easier and simpler for us. After proving their expertise on the industrial front, these amazing machines are now leaping towards the kitchen. Yaskawa Electric Corporation’s new-generation dexterous dual-arm industrial robot Motoman SDA10 was shown off at the latest International Next-Generation Robot Fair in Osaka for its skill in cooking okonomiyaki.

Measuring 4.5ft tall and 220 kg, the futuristic robot was designed to operate neck to neck with man in workplace. SDA10 has 15 joints in entirety, 7 in each arm and one in the torso. The joints enable it with wide range of movement useful for any job. The robot can proficiently assemble a disposable camera from two dozen parts in just 2 minutes. Not only this, it can turn into a chef and based on speech recognition technology, it takes your orders, prepares the okonomiyaki batter using utensils, then pours it on the iron grill, makes it into a pancake-like disc, tosses it like a professional and then applies condiments before serving it hot.
I sense that very soon in the future, we might see robots managing the kitchen not only in homes, but also hotels across the world.
