If you thought domestic robots could only be found in Hollywood blockbusters or sci-fi TV series, then think again. A robotic chef could soon be coming to a kitchen near you.

Launched at the Consumer Electronics Show in Shanghai earlier this year, winning ‘Best in Show’, the world’s first robotic chef will be showcased by Moley Robotics at their North London laboratory this Autumn.

The proof-of-concept, fully-working model is currently being developed for production and is expected to be released in 2018. It is already programmed to make crab bisque but users will be able to choose dishes from an iTunes-style library, where they can choose from preset meals or upload their own personal recipes. Robotic arms will then swing into action to prepare and cook the required recipe. Watch this space!
