Cooki: a Desktop Robotic Chef That Does Everything

CES has only officially been open for like 5 minutes, and already we've found something too awesome not to share immediately: a cooking robot from a startup called Sereneti that can handle everything for you, from cooking to stirring to adding ingredients at the right time. This robot is called Cooki, and here's a rendering of how it all works: This is from January of last year, but as you can see in the pics below, they have the (much smaller) real thing here at CES, and it's actually making a spinach omelette. You preload the ingredients, turn the thing on, and it'll cook everything for you perfectly using little motorized bins to dump in the ingredients one at a time and an adorable robot arm to do the stirring. Pretty much the only thing it can't do is bring you the finished meal in bed. The initial prototype was built using a traditional robot arm, but Sereneti quickly realized that it would be both dangerous (so close to a saucepan) and practically impossible to clean.
