I have questions. Is this something in use today? Who is manufacturing them? Is this something you're personally familiar with or just aware of?

Yeah go on the YouTube rabbit hole of 'cooking robot' there are some really impressive ones - overpriced and not entirely practical but really good.

All the actual sensor and control stuff is used in industrial and factory kitchens but built into linear assembly lines so putting that into a more multiuse tool is the challenge.

I'm not personally familiar, just follow automation and robotics these are something I've been interested in for a while. It's a prefect task for where automation and ai is at the moment.

I haven't seen specifically cooking, but there have been quite a few papers about mixing task-instruction LLMs with task-execution robot arms (like they use in manufacturing) to perform simple tasks given only a plain English instruction. Eg, "pick up the red ball and place it in the blue bowl". Very cool research but still very new.
