The Robot Chef

    In the 21st century, we can see many things that have developed very well around us, compared with the past. Among these developed things, robotic technology is the one of well developed parts. Robots are created for making human works easier. This time, a robot can do anything even cooking and serving. There's a machine, called 'The BratWurst Bot', that is able to cook as well as human does from ordering to serving.

    German technology company, Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI), invented this robot chef. The BratWurst Bot looks very simple - it has only one arm with tongs to hold and pick up the sausages, two RGB cameras that notice position of sausages and check the color of sausages in order to perceive when should turn sausages. The way The BratWurst Bot works is this - first, it takes orders from customers calculating the number, and then uses an certain algorithm to regulate RGB camera to cook. After sausages are cooked, put them on plates.  

    FZI demonstrated that robots can make human tasks easily by operating The BratWurst Bot at the 53rd Stallwächterparty (Stable Guard party) in Berlin. That day, this bot chef made and served more than 200 sausages by itself. Even though it is not available to use generally and cooks only sausages, other people might try to make this kind of robot more perfectly. Someday robots might be able to threaten people's position. However, truly will it be able to replace human with robot.
