LUXURY GADGETS: MOLEY ROBOTICS ‘THE KITCHEN
Moley Robotics, located in London, demonstrated a world-first ceiling-mounted two-armed kitchen robot. The Kitchen is absolutely impressive, with hundreds of recipes pre-programmed and even the capacity to clean up after itself. This masterwork is centred on two articulating hands that glide down a track installed in your kitchen ceiling after six years of R&D. Users pick what they want to eat via a touchscreen, and the robot handles the rest, mimicking expert chefs’ actions. Despite the fact that the robot can cook, users will still have to perform some preliminary work (peeling, dicing, etc.).
