World's First Cooking Robot

Why pop in that old frozen entrée into your microwave when you can get a robot chef to cook you freshly prepared meals? Named the AIC, for Artificial Intelligent Cooking, the robot designed by Liu Xinyu of China, is the world's first machine capable of completing cooking skills to whip up delicious dishes of Chinese food. Programmed with movements sampled from top Chinese chefs, the AIC demonstrated its abilities by cooking a savory dish of Kung Pao Chicken at the China's High Tech Fair this past weekend.
