Snackbot


NYTimes posted the greatest post I've seen by them in a while: a cooking robot. Snackbot cooks and serves. Better than a husband. It cooks and serves.
Snackbot is a mobile autonomous robot, intended for both fully autonomous and semi-autonomous operation, built by an interdisciplinary team at Carnegie Mellon University. Snackbot has two jobs. One job is to serve as a research platform for projects in robotics, design, and behavioral science. We welcome new partners orsponsors for this work. Snackbot’s other job is to serve snacks.
The long article goes into a lot of unnecessary detail. Check out the video for a quick preview.
