Fanxing Science and Technology Co. Ltd in Shenzhen, China is reported to have claimed to have developed the first cooking robot, named as AIC-AICookingrobot, which is programmed to cook Sichuan, Shandong and Canton cuisines.
Facts provided by Shenzhen Economic Daily, claims that the robot made with mechanics worth a whopping $250,000, can perform all the culinary actions pertaining to Chinese steaming, baking, frying, boiling and sauteing. Apparently, AIC-AICookingrobot had its tests cleared by a shrimp casserole just in five minutes. The purpose of developing a cooking robot, as asserted by Cai Hegao, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering was to customize Chinese fast foods.
Briefly, the ultimate thing that could take place in culinary industry is developing a robot to replace talented Chinese chefs and doubtless of the fact that Chinese cooking takes authentic skills comprehendible to creativity chefs more than mechanics of robots.
Chinese fast foods like Mongolian beef BBQ, Chow Mein, fried rice, fried wonton, Spring Rolls, so an so forth turn out equally fast with human hands working over a wok. Moreover, all Chinese foods are a snap, so a robotic requirement can be a luxury for American restaurants and busy diners, who can regulate their taste for Chinese foods without having to hire Chinese chefs.

Really cool innovation... I need one for home, perhaps one that deals in Italian food as thats my favourite. ;o)
awesome robot. Do some research bout next tech to cook the chinese food more delicious. thank you for sharing..
Really good post... makes me hungry!
it is $250K, but in tens years, we could have robo-chefs on every corner catering to delicious eats! I for one welcome our new cooking robo-overlords.
