Engineers at Columbia University invent robotic lasers that cook food

December 16, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Engineers at Columbia University have invented software-controlled robotic lasers that cook food with “unparalleled precision”, retaining more moisture, and creating an entirely new, customized way to cook a tasty meal. (See videos below.)

Imagine having your own digital personal chef; ready to cook up whatever you want; able to tailor the shape, texture, and flavor just for you; and it’s all at the push of a button. Columbia engineers have been working on doing just that, using lasers for cooking and 3D printing technology for assembling foods.

Under the guidance of Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson, the “Digital Food” team of his Creative Machines Lab has been building a fully autonomous digital personal chef. Lipson’s group has been developing 3D-printed foods since 2007. Since then, food printing has progressed to multi-ingredient prints and has been explored by researchers and a few commercial companies.

Freebirds and Now Cuisine partner to develop robotic kiosks to serve hot meals

December 16, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Restaurant technology developer Now Cuisine and the Freebirds burrito company are partnering to build robotic kiosks that serve hot meals.

Now Cuisine and Freebirds World Burrito say the pilot program will be available at new locations throughout the Dallas area using Now Cuisine’s robotic Takeout Stations.

Now Cuisine’s Takeout Stations are compact, fully-automated, AI-enabled kiosks that can be placed nearly anywhere to serve freshly made-to-order hot meals in minutes, 24/7. Freebirds has issued a purchase order to Now Cuisine which will allow its food to be served in multiple Takeout Stations in Texas as part of the pilot.

Russia’s Sber Bank establishes new science award with $820,000 prize money

December 16, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Sber, Russia’s largest banking group, has created a competition to find innovative startup companies in the country, pledging to give approximately $270,000 in prize money to the winners.

It’s officially the “Year of Science and Technology” in Russia, so Sber decided to mark it by establishing the Sber Science Award, which is planned to be an annual science award to support the research and development efforts that have a considerable potential to impact the progress of science and technology.

Three winners will receive 20 million roubles (approximately $270,000) in prizes. The total prize pool of the science award reaches 60 million roubles (approximately $820,000). [Read more…] about Russia’s Sber Bank establishes new science award with $820,000 prize money

Top Tech Trend: The Best Robotics that Simplify Our Life

November 26, 2021 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Robotics is an emerging form of technology that promises to simplify our lives a great deal in the near future.

Although robotics has emerged in some forms, like manufacturing, the truth is that robotics can help people in many unique ways. In particular, robotics has emerged as a means of helping people involved with dating online through the application of the “soft” side of robotics and automation.

The ability to get involved with online dating is helpful to minorities in the dating scene, like gay men or seniors. [Read more…] about Top Tech Trend: The Best Robotics that Simplify Our Life

Cleveland Clinic develops bionic arm that restores ‘natural behaviors’

September 2, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Cleveland Clinic researchers have engineered a “first-of-its-kind bionic arm” for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an amputation, according to new findings published in Science Robotics.

The Cleveland Clinic-led international research team developed the bionic system that combines three important functions – intuitive motor control, touch and grip kinesthesia, the intuitive feeling of opening and closing the hand.

Collaborators included University of Alberta and University of New Brunswick. [Read more…] about Cleveland Clinic develops bionic arm that restores ‘natural behaviors’
