Spyce's 'robot kitchen' in Boston gives a peek into the future of the restaurant industry

Spyce is the perfect restaurant for an introvert. From placing an order on one of the sleek iPads that line the restaurant's right wall to watching spinning woks dump fresh ingredients into bowls, little human interaction is required. Except for perhaps raising your hand when your name is called and the food is ready. The new "robot kitchen" at 241 Washington St. in Boston's Downtown Crossing uses technology to maximize cooking safety. With an eye toward the future of the restaurant industry, four MIT graduate students cooked up the idea in the basement of their fraternity in 2015.
