Late or don’t feel like cooking tonight? You could order out, or maybe soon be able to have your robot chef whip up a meal for you. This robot could end up in your kitchen?

This robot will probably be commercial available be 2017. The robot will cost about 15.000 dollar and is able to cook 2000 different meals. The recipes are selected via an app, “with the machine being able to stir, adjust the hob, pick up bottles, pour jugs, and perform other movements,” according to the Independent.

For now robo-chef has been taught to make crab bisque. Why crab bisque? “Crab bisque is a challenging dish for a human chef to make, never mind a robot,” Tim Anderson, winner of 2011’s season of MasterChef in the U.K., explained in Time Magazine. “If it can make bisque, it can make a whole lot of other things.”

“We want people to be comfortable with this device,” London-based Moley’s Mark Oleynik told the BBC. “It’s not an industrial device; it’s not a device that works at 10-times normal speed. No, it’s a device that moves like you move, and at the same speed as you do.”

Moley Robotics’ wants to introduce a consumer version. The BBC revealed it will primarily be aimed at urban apartment dwellers whose space is at a premium.
