Anaxagoras -> RE: Mexican food from robots (6/26/2012 6:04:25 AM)

quote:
“The main limitation in this design is that the ingredients have to have that paste-like (or Play Dough) consistency to go through the printer’s syringe. So unfortunately, ingredients like lettuce, or chunky bits of meat or salsa are not going to extrude out of a tiny 18 gauge syringe hole. You’re just not going to get that desired mouth feel of carne asada. [The burritos are] alright. More to the point is to deliver a conceptual burrito creating a dialogue about food issues. In terms of taste, more development and testing is required. Nothing replaces the human touch (apologies to my robot friends) of simple, unprocessed food, a few spices, and time.” I wonder will these robots be able to replace chefs at some stage? [8|] Mind you some of the finest restaurants in the world measure the ingredients out with extreme percision...
