Engineers at Cambridge University have programmed a robot to judge whether a dish was sufficiently seasoned.
The team devised a robotic chef to taste a sample dish of scrambled eggs and tomatoes at different stages of the chewing process and rate the seasoning.
The simulated chewing process and tasting process is hoped to develop robotic chefs that can actually prepare food for human consumption.
The paper published in Frontiers in Robotics & AI certainly provides food for thought.
The whole concept of robotic competence in the culinary arts is mind boggling, as are the leaps and bounds the science is making.
Soon robots will be picking, packing and cooking your mushrooms!
